Brian Wilson interview 1966

PEACE
Relative peace must be nice in New York.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEAR
Not knowing what to expect is the only reason for fear.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRUNK
I don't know anyone who get's drunk. In fact, I haven't been drunk myself for three years. There's no point in it. It isn't really fun. Why bother?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HONESTY
It's great and groovy and kicks all rolled into one big mind-blower. No one should be without it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUICIDE
It only makes things worse. You can't solve anything by killing yourself. I mean, things can only get better, but if you're dead, they may not.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WATTS
It's only four miles from my original home, where my mother still lives. We didn't panic - she just didn't go outside the house.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRIME
Very consistent.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POLICE
They're nice men, I think.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KOREA
I was about 11 years old and primarily concerned with baseball.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JUVENILE DELIQUENCY
There seems to be a trend toward non-violence today. More and more kids are thinking love and peace and friendship, instead of hate and spite.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCHOOL
I wonder how much longer school will be compulsory? Very soon, I think, education will not only be free-form, but free for the taking or leaving. TIME
Time is fine when it's in cadence.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEREO
I can't enjoy stereo much, I'm deaf in one ear.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EAR
The right one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRUGS
An underground train.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PATRIOTISM
Beer and brass bands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HYMN
I think I can write one someday.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ORGAN
My dad gave me a piep organ for my birthday -- that's what I'll write the hymn on. Or at.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOOR
The door has been opened for a whole universe of experience for me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEWSPAPER
I don't read the newspapers too much because they depress me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SWIMMING POOL
I have just rediscovered the delights of swimming. I'm completely turned on to swimming pools again. For a while they bored me. Now I take a swim once a day and I'm completely healthy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALBUM
Our next album will be better than "Pet Sounds". It will be as much an improvement over "Sounds" as that was over "Summer Days".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECORDING STUDIO
My recording studio has become a castle, with a wing for everyone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TELEVISION
Someday I want to make commercials for TV - with a new twist.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRUMS
Someday I want to write a symphony for drums. HOLLYWOOD BOWL
The sound men at the Bowl are not rock 'n' roll sound men. I would advise people who want to play there and sound good, to change their plans, or plan their changes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SURFING
It's a very challenging sport. I've never been able to meet the challenge.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LYRICS
Let's make them all free-form, so we don't get hung up on making rhymes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRUG SONGS
There are myriad of drug songs on the pop music market today. I don't know which they are.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MIRROR
Have you tried the mirror technique of subconsciousness? I'm reading a book about it - I'm fascinated by the mind and hypnosis and things like that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAR
One day everyone will sit up in his car and fall out to the groovy sounds of cartridge tapes. Do I sound like a commercial?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUCCESS
Came very easily to me, professionally speaking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GLASSES
I would recommend that everyone who gets eye strain when they read go to an optometrist and get reading glasses so that they can read more and longer. This is what I did, and I really do think everyone should do it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RAIN
It's purifying. It cleanses the earth and helps things grow. It's spiritual too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AUTOGRAPHS
I would suggest to every girl who collects autographs that she has them analyzed. Amazing revelations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE MOON
Funny you should mention that - I've been reading a book about moon deities and about how the moon affects women's personalities. Fascinating.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PUBLICISTS
Professional wordsmen.
