- I'm not a genius. I'm just a hard working guy.
- I'd earned over a million dollars by the time I was old enough to vote.
- "My new band is better then The Beach Boys".
- "The Four Freshmen influenced me the most, with their great harmonies. Whew! The greatest".
- For me, making music has always been a very spiritual thing, and I think anybody who produces records has to feel that, at least a little bit. Producing a record, the idea of taking a song, envisioning the overall sound in my head and then bringing the arrangement to life in the studio, well that gives me satisfaction like nothing else.
- To be a great producer, music has to be a big part of your soul. And when it comes to making music, if I could invent a way to get it from my heart into yours, without doing all that hard work, I would be very happy.
- My mother used to tell me about vibrations. I didn't really understand too much of what that meant when I was just a boy. To think that invisible feelings, invisible vibrations existed scared me to death.
- First of all, I want people to understand that I'm here to create for them. To create music for people so they'll know that I'm a source of love. And they can depend on my name.
- 'Surfer Girl' symbolized a mystical place that I have never been to but sung about. Maybe I was there, I don't know. I could have been and not known it.
- I am very, very grateful for Melinda coming into my life. She taught me little things, taking one day at a time. She saved me. Not only this, she also got me off the cigarettes ... I was smoking five packs a day and it had started affecting my voice.
- I was taking speed or doing coke or coming through the door drunk and hugging the kids. How did I not get them with the cigarette?
