Brian Wilson
I consider myself to be a crusader of love. I try to spread love around the world as best I can because I know I have a handle on love.
Brian Wilson
J.S. Bach was easily the greatest musical innovator in the history of the world. He was so advanced for his time. There's a spiritual depth to his music. You can listen to it and it's like meditation.

Brian Wilson
I listen to oldies but goodies stations, '60s and '70s music.
Brian Wilson
People are part of my music. A lot of my songs are the result of emotional experiences, sadness, pain, joy, and exultation in nature and sunshine and so on...like 'California Girls' which was a hymn to youth.
Brian Wilson
Humor - it helps to make the vibe better - it loosens up the vibrations.
Brian Wilson
If there's not love present, it's much, much harder to function. When there's love present, it's easier to deal with life.
Brian Wilson
All of the artists did such a beautiful job I can’t thank them enough. I’m just honored that 'God Only Knows' was chosen. 'God Only Knows' is a very special song. An extremely spiritual song and one of the best I’ve ever written.
Brian Wilson
I can write songs, I've had songs in movies, but I can't compose film scores, you know?
Brian Wilson
