The idea of being a rock and roll musician sort of suited my talents and mentality. The freedom was great, but then I found out I wasn't free. I'd got boxed in...The whole Beatle thing is just beyond comprehension ... subconsciously I was crying for help.

We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity.

It depends who they are. If it's Mick (Jagger) or the Old Guard as I call them, yeah, they're the Old Guard. Elton (John), David (Bowie) are the newies. I don't feel like an old uncle, dear, 'cause I'm not that much older than half of 'em, hehe.

The more real you get, the more unreal everything else is.

It's weird not to be weird.

I've never voted. I've never voted yet although I could have voted for the last ten years.

Tame birds sing of freedom. Wild birds fly.
