I've never met anybody who's had a flashback in my life and I took millions of trips in the Sixties, and I've never met anybody who had any problem. I've had bad trips, but I've had bad trips in real life. I've had a bad trip on a joint. I can get paranoid just sitting in a restaurant; I don't have to take anything.

When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy.

I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.

I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another

I don't want to grow up but I'm sick of not growing up -​ that way. I'll find a different way of not growing up. There's a better way of doing it than torturing your body.

When I was singing about 'All You Need Is Love' I was talking about something I hadn't experienced.

Love means having to say you're sorry every fifteen minutes.
