This is the first time I've ever played the Grammys. I finally passed the audition.

Someone like John would want to end the Beatle period and start the Yoko period. He wouldn't like either to interfere with the other.

Every love song I write is for Linda.

I took my brains out and stretched them on the rack, now I'm not too sure I'm gonna get them back.

I'm trying to do it honestly and genuinely; if some of it's not working to your taste, what can I say?

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.

I'm only 49 years old. I'm still in the middle of this whole thing. I don't feel like it's finished at all. I'm still planning to write better songs.
