Tom Petty: “I think I would put him up there with any composer – especially Pet Sounds. I don't think there's anything better that that, necessarily. I don't know if he's a genius or not, but I know his music is probably as good as any music you can make.”

Brian: “People say I named it that [Pet Sounds] because the music is so personal. The only thing that’s not true is that the album was named after the cover photo. We already knew what we were calling the record when we went down to the San Diego Zoo for the photo shoot.”
