Dennis Wilson Quotations

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

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.

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

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.

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.

All I need is a big surfboard and a piano.

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

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

Everything I do is a stepping stone from Brian - he's taught me so much.
