The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

I've always thought of beauty therapy 'alternative' treatments and the like as the female equivalent of brothels - for essentially self-deceiving people who feel a bit hollow and have to pay to be touched.

I hope the millions of people I've touched have the optimism and desire to share their goals and hard work and persevere with a positive attitude.

I'm the lead singer of the Beach Boys and an ambassador of this amazing music that touched a generation.

It is amazing that something I did 23 years ago still has an audience that people respond to and I am touched and surprised that people are still very positive about.

When Maurice touched a keyboard it was like something from a movie magical. He would always give you something from a movie and you'd go what did you just play... immediately inspirational writings amazing. That's what we're going to miss.

I really would love to do a piece like Julia Roberts or Charlize Theron in 'Erin Brockovich' or 'North Country.' They were both so amazing and so inspiring. I would love to touch someone in the way their performances touched me.

At my age I don't think anyone is untouched by cancer.
