Dennis Wilson: "Everything I do is a stepping stone from Brian - he's taught me so much."...... We'd be in the studio and he would play us a song...we'd start crying, it was so great...I mean it was like 'how could this possibly be happening? How'd you write that?' "...... "Brian is The Beach Boys. He is the band. We're his fucking messengers. He is all of it. Period. We're nothing. He's everything"
