Keep a cool head and a warm heart. A mantra that became a song, inspired by the wise words of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. If we all take the time to listen and love each other, this world would be a better place.

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

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

During meditation your metabolism and your breath rate go down to a level of rest, twice that of deep sleep.

You have to be careful not to get overexposed.

Keep a cool head and a warm heart.

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.

Since learning Transcendental Meditation from Maharishi in December 1967, it has been a valuable practice which has enabled me to go through some very stressful life experiences while remaining centered.

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.

Mankind invents things to fight about.

Some people are denizens of the studio. I'm more of a denizen of the live appearance. I love the live thing.

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

There's the historical part of The Beach Boys' music it's pretty incredible, pretty vast and pretty varied too.

Without meditation, Id probably be dead.

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.

The history of mankind is a history of war.

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.
