As you go through life's rich tapestry, you realize that most people you meet aren't fit to shine your shoes. It's a sad fact, but it's true. A good friend is someone who'd hide you if you were on the run for murder. How many of them do you know?

They [The Beatles ] were the first band to write their own songs in Britain because we always just covered American songs before that.

We sent out tapes to the others but they didn't wake up. It was worth it just to have one kid wake up. I got to meet him after he woke up.

We never nicked stuff from other bands because that was a no-no because we were all in the same boat. You don't steal from the poor because, let's face it, they're poor. There's no sense in that.

Eric Clapton wrote "Layla" when he was coked out of his mind. Later on, it nearly killed him.

We never played China, India or Africa. We also haven't played Russia enough. I would love to play those places.
