Fly me high through the starry skies or maybe to an astral plane, cross the highways of fantasy, help me to forget today's pain.

I always wanted to do something completely different.

In 1972, George Harrison invited me to accompany him on a trip to India.

We lived on a farm in the English countryside, where we wrote a lot of our music. You really were treated like an artist during those days-not like product, which is now the mode.

India profoundly changed my outlook on life because you see how people can be content and very happy with little or even no possessions. It's the reverse of the West.

The Internet is both great and terrible. As a source of information, a tool for delivering music and art, it's great. But spamming ads and piracy of music is terrible. It's stealing.

My career has kind of taken on a life of its own.
