If you're the singer in the band, you always get more attention than anyone else.

Country music... doesn't bend notes in the same way, so I suppose it's very English, really. Even though it's been very Americanized, it feels very close to me, to my roots, so to speak.

People are so brainwashed by the rules that they don't know what really matters.

I liked John a lot. He was the one I really got on with the most. We weren't buddy-buddies but we were always friendly. But after the Beatles and the Stones stopped playing clubs, we didn't see each other that much until he separated from Yoko, around 1974. We got really friendly again. And when he went back with Yoko, he went into hibernation ... when I went to visit someone in the Dakota, I'd leave him a note saying: 'I live next door: I know you don't want to see anyone, but if you do, please call.' He never did.

Either we stay at home and become pillars of the community or we go out and tour. We couldn't really find any communities that still needed pillars.

Many Americans have no idea of what has been the foreign policy of their country. If you don't know about something, you can't understand what is going on.

He stole my music but he gave me my name.
