We're just kinda surviving at a very comfortable level.

Of course The Beach Boys will be camp.

We are a business, and you do a little of what you think's right, pay your bills, and attract... a single record attracts attention to your concerts and your albums.

You know, The Beach Boys' image is kinda like a group Doris Day, you know what I mean?

Records... a record just shouldn't be that important.

But, you know again, getting back to what a group like ours might represent - the cleanliness thing.

We try some really interesting things besides being outright commercial.

Carl, Dennis and Brian are brothers, and Mike Love's a cousin.

We're just kinda surviving at a very comfortable level.

For us... you know, we're not The Beatles.

Well, a lot of our concerts do okay, and I know we still get royalty checks which still isn't that important, but again, I have to just say that we're making our records.

I really dig the scene that's happening now, I really do, because there might be a lot of bad things going on, but if out of all of those bad things ten per cent of the groovy part of it stays, wow... you can't beat that.

The group started getting bigger and bigger, so Al started replacing Brian on the road, and then finally there was a big flare-up with Dave Marks and he left the group.

We're not trying to top ourselves with each record, obviously.

Brian came back in on the road and Al stayed, but Al's the original member of the group.

You know, if I wrote the arrangements two years from now, they would probably be a lot slicker.

We've recorded over our voices once and double the harmonies, make them thick. The Four Freshmen do that.

Before I joined The Beach Boys, I was working at Columbia Records as a producer, and saw The Byrds come in and do their first overdub before Terry even met them.

You know, Glen Campbell sang with the group right before I joined the group.

I never could get into The Chambers Brothers. They make good records, but I never could get behind it.

I really dig The Byrds. I think they are the most underrated - in their original form - pop group.

I mean it shouldn't hang you up emotionally if your record fails.

Everybody can dig The Beatles, but why should everybody dig us?

I've been with the group since 1965. I will be beginning my fifth year on April ninth this year.

Sometimes one of us might be missing because we might be away or something, but there's always four or five.

I've been a reporter for 20 years, and I don't ever get things wrong. That's important in terms of my professional status.

I've definitely had a bunch of action scripts sent to me, but again I'm a stickler for directors. If it's, like, an action flick with a great director, then it's like, 'Oh let's look at this thing,' but if it's just like a shoot-em'-up with a first time director, I don't know if that's the trajectory I want to take with what I'm doing.

I've always been extremely lucky in playing with great people who knew much more than I did. That's how I got from there to here.

If you build your own chair, there is a lot of things that happen. You could probably buy a nice chair for less money than a chair that you built yourself, and it might even look better, but if you build that chair, you're going to take care of it and maintain it because it's your chair. If it breaks, you know how to fix it.

No, but there are people I grew up with from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains that would give any person on 'Justified' a run for their money in the scary department.

Something I've learned is that it actually takes a lot of work to make something great.

Dr. Dre, my oldest brother, he paved the way for me and Snoop to get a chance to get into the studio. I asked him to show me how to work the MPC-60... I was about maybe 17, 18, right around there.

It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.

Everything is nothing, including the consciousness of nothing.

John Kerry was always in front of the camera but not out doing the hard work.

For years, we have been asking the E.U. to create something similar to the Russia-NATO council. Not in order to simply exchange opinions and work out recommendations, but to make decisions.

Doing an accent removes you from yourself and reminds you, every instant, that you're playing a part.

I love myself for treating myself well.

I saw the Kino print of 'The Man From Beyond,' but apparently a superior new print has been produced by Restored Serials. Maybe a few snippets of missing footage will close up some of the plot holes, but I have my doubts.

Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.

What Bill Clinton did to us was cruel. The White House gave my attorneys indications that there was a good chance for my clemency to be granted. I had to prepare myself for being released because there was no sign that my petition would be denied.

First we have to believe, and then we believe.

I don't use a lot of products. I don't even like to wear make-up when I'm not working.

When Mr. Obama entered office, he said all the right things about getting Washington spending under control. He even promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. Obviously, that didn't happen.

I guess Species was a movie made for me and hence I bagged the role. In fact even when acting, I never thought the outcome would be so good which I think it was! The entire role was a challenge. I was to be this strange yet sexy thing which was challenging!

True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.

No parent or coach can be true to any child and say he's ready for the N.F.L. out of high school.

I love doing Pilates and dance. It's fun to mix things up and change your program every ten days.

I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, and they were getting ready for a life of unemployment, so they're just happy I'm in work!
