Barney Kessel is definitely the best guitar player in this world, or any other world.

If I had half a chance, I'd put acid in the Government's tea.

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 being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. All there is ever, is the now.

There are those superstars who refuse to give anything of themselves to the public except what they see on-screen. In movies and on records, it's easy to insulate one's self from the public; that's why I think I wouldn't care to be a television performer, particularly in the States, where TV stardom is so intimate.

The saddest thing was actually getting fed up with one another. It's like growing up in a family. When you get to a certain age, you want to go off and get your own girl and your own car, split up a bit.

As far as I'm concerned, there won't be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead.
