“Surfing is a way of life. It is a way of being. It is a state of mind.”

“Pacific Ocean Blue was me. It was my heart. It was everything I had to say.”

“You have to be a little bit crazy to do what we did.”

“I'm the Beach Boy. I am the beach.”

“My dad was a tyrant. He was a tyrant and I loved him.”

“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.”

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

“It's about the music. That's all it is. It's about what it does to people.”

“Everything that I am or will ever be is in the music.”

“If there wasn't the Beach Boys, I don't know where I'd be. I don't know what I'd be.”

“We were doing things that were brand new. We were scared to death half the time.”
