Everybody has their own appreciation of the Beach Boys, depending on where they're coming from with their musical tastes, so we tried to be representative of all eras and of everybody in the band and their contributions.

I think my philosophy in music has been to accentuate the positive.

The music I have created, along with the other Beach Boys, has taken me all over the world. For these past 50 years, I guess you could say, 'I get around.'

I learned that when you do the best job that you can do, some people will idolize you, others won't care, and some will vilify you.

I guess what really forms you as a person is what you do within your family to receive love or attention. In my family, what you had to do to receive attention was to have good conversation at the dinner table or for me to do well at school, and those were really my focuses because that was what was valued the most.

I'm really happy in Liverpool and the club feels such a family. I feel great, I have a nice house and my family have been here from the beginning so they could help me.

My family and parents were very influential in my skating career.

Parents who press their children to succeed do so in hopes of preparing them for an adulthood of high achievement.
