Dennis Wilson Quotations

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.

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.

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

All I need is a big surfboard and a piano.

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

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

He just had a very unique way of expressing himself physically with his kids.

The thing I wonder about is where does Brian's creative spark come from? Not his subjects or anything, but his spark. What makes it so great for me is that I really don't know. There's a mystery behind Brian, even to me.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

On the beach, you can live in bliss.

She was taking her picture, her senior pictures at the animal sanctuary and the tiger, for whatever reason, lunged at her and that resulted in her death,

I think it's fantastic. It was so wonderful to see all the friends and family out here to support us. We want to find Christie and we want justice served.

Parents on their own have senior pictures taken outside of the school.

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

We called them and said, 'Listen, we want you to show the region that it's OK to come into the city,'

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

I've always thought the highlights of the festival were the parade and the street market. It's always fun and it brings a lot of people to the St. James downtown area.

There was police cars everywhere, detectives cars everywhere, there was crime scene tape around this. And for somebody to do this to her, it just an outrage, really.

It's more crowded this year. There's a mad rush in the beginning trying to run around and get all the free little stuff. We probably won't get too many goodies now.

Smaller business employers have told us they want the same flexibility, savings, integration and consumer-focused approaches of consumer-driven health care that are available to larger businesses.
