I've always been very involved with environmental issues. I was fortunate to be one of the speakers at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janiero some years back, and Bruce Johnson and I served on the board of the Surfrider Foundation here at home. Locally and globally, we need to be doing everything we can to help Mother Earth.

You have to be careful not to get overexposed.

I never thought of myself as a really particularly great singer.

I'm the lead singer of the Beach Boys and an ambassador of this amazing music that touched a generation.

The great thing about getting older is that you get a chance to tell the people in your life who matter what they mean to you.

You can't sustain a fan base on a great catalog alone. You must take your music directly to the people.

My greatest struggle is to coexist while watching the people I love choose less than life-supporting paths via drugs, alcohol, or poor lifestyle decisions. There is so much to life; my heart breaks watching someone held captive by addiction.
