You can manicure a cat but can you caticure a man?

I enjoyed it when football crowds in the early days would sing 'All together now' - that was another one. I was also pleased when the movement in America took up 'Give peace a chance' because I had written it with that in mind really.

I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can. But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.

Declare it. Just the same way we declare war. That is how we will have peace... we just need to declare it.

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

I never went to high school reunions. My thing is, out of sight, out of mind. That's my attitude toward life. So I don't have any romanticism about any part of my past.

I was different, I was always different. Why didn't anybody notice me?
