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.

More quotes by Brian Wilson
Gershwin inspired me very much. The concept of 'That Lucky Old Sun' was inspired by 'Rhapsody in Blue' - not influenced, but inspired.
Brian Wilson
I earned my famous name.
Brian Wilson
I'm happy I'm a happy person.
Brian Wilson
I still believe that something is right only when it feels right.
Brian Wilson
The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Phil Spector. Those were my idols.

Any article's good. Long as it's publicity, I think that's all that matters. I think it's advancement for my career.
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
Humor - it helps to make the vibe better - it loosens up the vibrations.
Brian Wilson
I met Paul in 1967, Ringo in 1985, and I saw George Harrison in a nightclub somewhere in L. A. I never met John.
Brian Wilson
Being single is like liking a Phil Spector record.
Brian Wilson

I have auditory hallucinations, I hear voices saying derogatory things, like I'm terrible and I'm going to die, and they're usually worse in the afternoon.
Brian Wilson
I think cursing is a bunch of malarkey.
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
I've never written one note or word of music simply because I think it will make money.
Brian Wilson
I think in terms of emotions. And feelings. So sometimes what I say may not always be clear. But creatively, there's a lot to be said for that way of thinking.
Brian Wilson
I'm doing good. I've had a slight nervous breakdown in the '60s. I got through that. And I got through the '70s. And I was in a doctor's program during the '80s and then I met Melinda and we've been together ever since. I've got a happy life.
Brian Wilson
I listen to oldies but goodies stations, '60s and '70s music.
Brian Wilson
I can write songs, I've had songs in movies, but I can't compose film scores, you know?
Brian Wilson
I have stage fright every single concert I've ever done. I have at least four or five minutes of it. It's absolute living hell.
Brian Wilson
