A working class hero is something to be.

I think the music reflects the state that the society is in. It doesn't suggest the state. I think the poets and musicians and artists are of the age - not only do they lead the age on, but they also reflect that age. [...] Like The Beatles. We came out of Liverpool and we reflected our background and we reflected our thoughts in what we sang, and that's all people are doing.

Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

I felt an obligation even then to write a song that people would sing in the pub or on a demonstration. That is why I would like to compose songs for the revolution.

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

"All you need is love." I believe it. It's damn hard, but I absolutely believe it.

Why should The Beatles give more? Didn't they give everything on God's earth for ten years? Didn't they give themselves?
