I didn't leave the Beatles. The Beatles have left the Beatles, but no one wants to be the one to say the party's over.

At Shea Stadium, I saw the top of the mountain.

Don't believe that jazz about there's nothing you can do, "turn on and drop out, man" - because you've got to turn on and drop in, or they're going to drop all over you.

I feel now at 53 I have grown into a deeper understanding of what a human life is.

The only reason I went for that goal is that I wanted to say: 'Now, mummy-daddy, will you love me?'

In my case I've never not been political, though religion tended to overshadow it in my acid days.

I believe in everything until it's disproved.
