I don't think of myself as a legend. I just love what I do. I love playing with my band, I love going to beautiful places and give people good music. I love what I do, I`m very lucky man.

I'm not a great practiser at all. We were never great practisers. The Beatles would come together for about a day before we had a tour, to make sure the amp worked.

I can take pot or leave it. I got busted in Japan for it. I was nine days without it and there wasn't a hint of withdrawal, nothing.

I doubt very much if The Beatles would have happened if it was not for Elvis.

My arrest was on every bloody TV set. The other prisoners all knew who I was and asked me to sing.

None of us wanted to be the bass player. In our minds he was the fat guy who always played at the back.

George Martin, he's very good at a very sort of lush, sweet arrangement.
