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

I can tell you the day The Beach Boys will no longer exist - never. We'll be on stage in wheelchairs.

Because of the attitude of a few mental dinosaurs intent on exploiting our initial success, Brian's huge talent has never been fully appreciated in America and the potential of the group has been stifled.... If the Beatles had suffered this kind of misrepresentation, they would have never got past singing 'Please Please Me' and 'I WannaHold Your Hand' and leaping around in Beatle suits.

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.

[in the sleeve notes for The Beach Boys 1964 album, "All Summer Long"] They say I live a fast life. Maybe I just like a fast life. I wouldn't give it up for anything in the world. It won't last forever, either. But the memories will.

The Beach Boys are not a superstar group. The music is the superstar of the group.

Loneliness is a very special place, Silently silently you touch my face
