Brian Wilson Quotes

I’m not a genius. I’m just a hard-working guy Picture Quote #1

The Beach Boys have always been a part of the 60s spectrum, with The Beatles and that kind of thing. They were a part of the music business like everyone else. And they did quite well as a singing group, and I finished a lot of good records, and I’m very proud of them Picture Quote #1

If you’re going to write a song, try to get together with a collaborator because it’s better to write with collaborators Picture Quote #1

Pop music has been exhausted. The innocence has been exhausted. I think we’ve lost the ability to be blown away by music Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You want to know my real pleasure? Food. I love chocolate. I can’t get enough chocolate. I can’t help it. But my biggest pleasure of all is exercise. I really get off on exercise Picture Quote #1

I would listen to Little Richard and Fats Domino and Chuck Berry, and I would listen to how they played their riffs, and after I taught myself that, I taught myself to play my own kind of stuff Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Don’t get married until you’re certain that you’re marrying the right girl. How did I know my wife was the one? I’d seen her for a couple of months. I liked her. She was a very creative person and she had a very good grip on politics and business Picture Quote #1

Every now and then I hear voices in my head, but not very clear. I can’t understand what they are saying. It’s a mental illness. I have been diagnosed as a manic depressive Picture Quote #1

You know Chuck, Buddy, and Elvis paved the road. The roots are deep inside us, it’s the rhythm in our soul Picture Quote #1

I get off on hearing other people’s voices. I like voices: they’re my favourite things on records Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Freedom and Liberty cannot exist without Individual Responsibilty. Failure to exercise Individual Responsibilty forfeits your right to self-governance and delivers it to Government which, through force, will set the parameters of your life Picture Quote #1

The only reason I’d ever get a sex change operation is to see what it’s like to be right all the time Picture Quote #1

I think I’m a vocal genius, not a musical genius. I like background vocals. I consider myself a voice, not a singer. A voice is a sound, and singing is what you do with that sound Picture Quote #1

Any article’s good. Long as it’s publicity, I think that’s all that matters. I think it’s advancement for my career Picture Quote #1

I think I need the demons in order to write, but the demons have gone. It bothers me a lot. I’ve tried and tried, but I just can’t seem to find a melody Picture Quote #1

I meditate and I also think about meditation. Which is funny. I think about Maharishi, about just the idea of meditating. It gives me something Picture Quote #1

Gershwin inspired me very much. The concept of ‘That Lucky Old Sun’ was inspired by ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ - not influenced, but inspired Picture Quote #1

I think about God, yes, and I wonder if there is a God. And if there is a God, will God please help me through my hard trips Picture Quote #1
