I don't have any desire to learn. I feel it's like a voodoo, that it would spoil things if I actually learnt how things are done.

The thing you must remember is that I'm the Number One John Lennon fan. I love him to this day and I always did love him

Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing.

The good Lord made this world and everything that's in it. The way I see it, baby, you got to love it to the limit.

If they won't come to worship God in a church, something must be done. We have to instigate a nationwide search for a way to make it fun.

So many times, I will have people tell me what I did when I was younger. There's so much being written [about] the early Beatles period, and even pre-Beatles period. And people will say, "Oh, he did that because that, and that happened because of that." And I'll be reading and think, "Well, that didn't happen" and, "That's not why I did that." Like anyone's history, you remember what went down better than people who weren't there.

At the end of the Beatles, I really was done in for the first time in my life. Until then, I really was a kind of cocky sod.
