If there wasn't The Beach Boys and there wasn't music, I wouldn't even talk to them. But through the music I fell in love with my brothers.

Everything that I am or will ever be is in the music. If you want to know me, just listen.

There will always be a Beach Boys. Being a Beach Boy is like being in love

The one thing that kept our family together was the music. The only thing that our family would share emotionally was to have our dad cry over something the kids did with music.

Brian was the oldest, I was in the middle and Carl was the baby. I was the troublemaker. Brian got great grades and Carl got the kind of grades I did. I failed everything. I was too busy fighting and running wild.

All I need is a big surfboard and a piano.

The greatest success in life is to feel I’m something for someone; the feeling of falling in love, the newness of love.
