I did not fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I cannot fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I am not his employer. I do not have such authority. And even if I did, I would never fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I love Brian Wilson. We are partners. He’s my cousin by birth and my brother in music.

I actually have heard of acts who only do their new album, and don't do their hits. I've never been in that mind set.

Love is probably the most powerful force in the cosmos, capable of creating miracles.

If you ask any couple who have been married 50 years or longer, they will tell you they've experienced it all. The same is true of the Beach Boys.

You have to be careful not to get overexposed.

The history of mankind is a history of war.
