The Beatles. I didn't like the first couple of songs, but when I heard "She Loves You', it was like something went off in my head.

I tried heroin once and I didn't like it. It frightened me.

Execution halts your breath, helter skelter spiral death.

In the Seventies I was so scared I wouldn't go on stage.

It [retirement] was absolutely boring. You can't go and say, 'I'm retired now. That's it!' It won't take long and you're really gone for good and someone throws the last shovel of dirt on a coffin with your name on it. That's the moment you're really retiring - when you die.

Hating people isn’t a productive way of living. So what’s the point in hating anyone? There’s enough hate in the world as it is, without me adding to it.

One thing that does confuse me, is that there are more religions in this world than ever, yet there's only sup­posed to be one God.
