People lose their lives in the drug wars and you don't have to prove it to yourself because others have proved it for you.

When George [Harrison] died the guards at Buckingham Palace played a medley of George's songs during the changing of the guard; that sort of thing never happens.

I don't understand people who believe that if you ignore something, it'll go away. That's completely wrong - if it's ignored it gathers strength. Europe ignored Hitler for twenty years. As a result he slaughtered a quarter of the world!

Every generation thinks they are stronger than the generation before it. They think, "It can't happen to me." In the past people have died making that same mistake.

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

If I hadn't been living here [in America], do you think we would have gotten a Grammy? No chance.
