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

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.

My dad was a tyrant. He used to physically beat the crap out of us.

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

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.

On the beach, you can live in bliss.

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.
