So it's the unwinding of your nervous system. The corresponding experience to what winds you up comes out in your dreams. To write a song then, even one like Don't Bother Me, helps to get rid of some subconscious burden. Writing a song is like going to confession.

Heaven and hell is right now. ... You make it heaven or you make it hell by your actions.

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

Be healthy, don't eat meat, keep away from those Night-Clubs and MEDITATE.

Whatever you've done, you get it back, so you can either go on, or you can blow it.

When you're open to something it's like being a beacon, and you attract it. From the first time I heard the chanting Hare Krishna, it was like a door opened somewhere in my subconscious, maybe from some previous life.

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.
