One thing you can't hide - is when you're crippled inside.

I don't expect you to understand after you've caused so much pain, but then again-you're not to blame; you're just human-a victim of the insane.

My life with the Beatles had become a trap... I always remember to thank Jesus for the end of my touring days; if I hadn't said that the Beatles were 'bigger than Jesus' and upset the very Christian Ku Klux Klan, well, Lord, I might still be up there with all the other performing fleas! God bless America. Thank you, Jesus.

There's high, and then there's high, and to get really high--I mean so high that you can walk on the water, that high--that's where I'm goin'

I'd always felt repressed. We were all so pressurised that there was hardly any chance of expressing ourselves, especially working at that rate, touring continually and always kept in a cocoon of myths and dreams.

I didn't come after Elvis and Dylan, I've been around always. But if I see or meet a great artist, I love 'em.

Please don’t spoil my day; I’m miles away and, after all, I’m only sleeping.
