Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.

I think the idea of getting out of a traffic jam and getting out of work each week and going and doing all this stuff would be really exhausting.

For you know that it's a fool who plays it cool, by making his world a little colder.

I would have liked the Beatles never to have broken up. I wanted to get us back on the road doing small places, then move up to our previous form and then go and play. Just make music, and whatever else there was would be secondary.

If this ever changing world in which we live in makes you give in and cry, say live and let die.

What I have to say is all in the music. If I want to say anything, I write a song.

My old school in Liverpool is now a performing-arts school, and I kind of teach there - I use the word lightly - but I go there and talk to students.
