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

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.

I made a dollar a day sweeping a laundry out. Then we made a record that was number two in Los Angeles. We got so excited hearing it on the radio that Carl threw up.

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.

My mom had to beg the guys to let me play. I couldn't even play the drums right - Brian had to show me.

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

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