The first drugs I ever took, I was still at art school, with the group - we all took it together - was Benzedrine from the inside of an inhaler.

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.

I was the walrus, but now I am John. And so my friends, you'll just have to carry on. The dream is over.

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 remember a time when everybody I loved hated me because I hated them.

I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically - any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women. That is why I am always on about peace, you see. It is the most violent people who go for love and peace. Everything's the opposite. But I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am a violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence. I will have to be a lot older before I can face in public how I treated women as a youngster.
