Without Jimmy (James) Dean the Beatles would never have existed.

It's Wierd not to be Wierd.

I don't know if I want to record together again. I go off and on it... In the old days, when we needed an album, Paul and I got together and produced enough songs for it. Nowadays, there's three of us writing prolifically and trying to fit it all into one album.

I'd never met a woman I considered as intelligent as me. That sounds bigheaded, but every woman I met was either a dolly-chick, or a sort of screwed-up intellectual chick. And of course, in the field I was in, I didn't meet many intellectual people anyway. I always had this dream of meeting an artist, an artist girl who would be like me. And I thought it was a myth, but then I met Yoko and that was it.

I don't believe in Beatles.

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

You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
