It doesn't matter whether you're the king of a country or... a fabulous Beatle; it's what's inside that counts.

The people gave their money and they gave their screams, but the Beatles gave their nervous systems, which is a much more difficult thing to give.

Some got rabies, some got fleas, some got incurable diseases from this cockamamie business.

I've always enjoyed prasadam much more when I've been at the temple, or when I've actually been sitting with Prabhupada, than when somebody's brought it to me. Sometimes you can sit there with prasadam and find that three or four hours have gone by and you didn't even know it. Prasadam really helped me a lot, because you start to realize "Now I'm tasting Krishna."

Just take the music, the goodness, because it's the very best, and it's the part I give most willingly.

We laughed a lot. That's one thing we forgot about for a few years - laughing. When we went through all the lawsuits, it looked as if everything was bleak, but when I think back to before that, I remember we used to laugh all the time.

The Beatles are now history, and it would be unhealthy to try to make my way as a former member. I must admit I occasionally listen to our records, but usually it's not deliberate. I'm more concerned with the present, with working out my own individual style and producing something new and worthwhile.
