I met Paul in 1967, Ringo in 1985, and I saw George Harrison in a nightclub somewhere in L. A. I never met John.

I've never written one note or word of music simply because I think it will make money.

I get off on hearing other people's voices. I like voices: they're my favourite things on records.

I think cursing is a bunch of malarkey.

I meditate and I also think about meditation. Which is funny. I think about Maharishi, about just the idea of meditating. It gives me something.

I wake up in the morning and I say 'Ahh! Today's the day for a song! I'm going to write a song today!' And I do. I write a song.

I still believe that something is right only when it feels right.
