I wouldn't like to say that I'm absolutely God conscious. It's like everybody else. We're battling with the forces that are pulling us upwards and downwards at the same time. But basically we all want love, that's what I feel.

When people come up to me expecting me to be just like what they thought a Beatle would be, they're disappointed. I never was a Beatle, except musically. I don't think any of us was. What is a Beatle anyway? I'm not a Beatle or an ex-Beatle or even the George Harrison. I'm just a man. Very ordinary.

If there's a God, I want to see Him. It's pointless to believe in something without proof.

Without going out of my door I can know all things on Earth.

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