I lost my voice. I'd never had to cancel a show before and I had to walk around with a pad and a pen, writing things down.

I used to go round to Aunt Mimi's house and John would be at the typewriter, which was fairly unusual in Liverpool. None of my mates even knew what a typewriter was. Well they knew what it was but they didn't hae one. Nobody had one.

If I were dead, I would be the last to know.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?

Pete Ham in the group was a very good writer. He wrote the Nilsson song "Without You", which is a seriously good song. But the poor fellow topped himself. He was a lovely bloke, I can still see him now. It was a terrible loss.

The ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty.

When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.
