You've got to be humble really to be yourself or to get a chance to be yourself.

Life is like a rain drop on a lotus leaf. Everybody realises that you're either very lucky person or you're not.

The art school party in Liverpool, in a flat in the students' accomdation, was the first all night party I ever went to...I puked up next morning. Cynthia was there, and I remember saying drunkenly to her 'I wish I had a nice girl like you'

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.

It's a matter of turning your consciousness inward in order to then realize that God is in there, and then you can see him outside too. It's just a shift in attitude, really.

So it's really a process of actually having a realization of God, which all becomes clear with the expanded state of consciousness that develops when you chant.

The world is ready for a mystic revolution, a discovery of the God in each of us.
