There's nothing you can do that can't be done.

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends

I was a working-class macho guy who was used to being served and Yoko didn't buy that. From the day I met her, she demanded equal time, equal space, equal rights.

There was never any question about it: we [with Yoko Ono] had to have a 50-50 relationship or there was no relationship, I was quick to learn.

Before Cliff (Richard) and The Shadows, there had been nothing worth listening to in British music.

There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things other people didn't see.

Nothing will stop me, and whether I'm here or wherever I may be, I'll always have the same feelings, I'll say what I feel.
