I make music that surfers dig, but, like Brian Wilson in the Beach Boys, I'm the dude who never gets on the board.
It's like when a guy gets a divorce from his wife. You part ways. That's what I did with The Beach Boys.
If you don't like The Ramones, you don't like rock 'n'roll. They're like The Beach Boys without the sea.
I grew up on oldies like the Beatles and the Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin and The Who.
A West Virginia 10 is a California 4. Or at least that's what legend tells us: The Legend of Dr. Feelgood. Plastic surgery has a permanent home here, which is why Nancy Pelosi loves our Botoxed beaches. Beverly Hills looks like a moving Madame Tussauds.
I just like the beaches in the summer, man.
The immense cities lie basking on the beaches of the continent like whales that have taken to the land.
I studied at UC Santa Cruz before going on to do a grad program at UCLA. Santa Cruz was like an awesome hippie summer camp. I got to take a vacation from reality and hang out on beaches and in forests.
I want to be a beacon to kids like me, the ones who grow up without hope.
These heroes of finance are like beads on a string; when one slips off, all the rest follow.
I like to think about stringing songs together like a string of pearls, or a string of beads, but ultimately it has to be stuff that really works with the band, and gives a spin to the older material.
I collect firearms, and I've got a Winchester, an Indian rifle. It has tacks for every warrior that was shot, like notches on a pistol, and it's got feathers and beads hanging off it. It's like a work of art.
When I need to get away from my desk, I tend to take walks or go places. I also like to bead - working with beads to make jewellery.
Day is like day as two beads in a rosary, unless changes of weather form the only variety.
I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!
Basically, I was a little bit nervous before competing beam at the Olympics, and I had this nervous thing to just talk to myself, like 'You can do it, you can do it.' And right before I hopped up there, I said, 'I got this.'
I found Beam when he was 16 years old. He dropped his SoundCloud page onto my Facebook. 'I listened to it and was like, these tracks are actually dope.'
Okra is the closest thing to nylon I've ever eaten. It's like they bred cotton with a green bean. Okra, tastes like snot. The more you cook it, the more it turns into string.
A writer is like a bean plant - he has his little day, and then gets stringy.
I don't go to any sexy places to eat where they give you half a lamb chop and one bean. I like going, 'Uhhh, I'm done' when I eat.
