In England, there are only two things to be, basically: You are either for the labor movement or for the capitalist movement. Either you become a right-wing Archie Bunker if you are in the class I am in, or you become an instinctive socialist, which I was.

Going to America increased the build up on me, especially as the war was going on there. In a way we'd turned out to be a Trojan horse. The 'Fab Four' moved right to the top and then sang about drugs and sex and then I got into more and more heavy stuff and that's when they started dropping us.

I used to think it was mere homesickness, then I started getting it at home.

I wanna hold your gland.

Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.

What we’ve got to do is keep hope alive. Because without it we’ll sink.

I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything.
