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

If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.

John could write a mean song. He had a lot of venom in him. Whereas I had a happy childhood.

It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard 'Heartbreak Hotel' I thought, this is it.

I had this song called Helter Skelter, which is just a ridiculous song. So we did it like that, 'cuz I like noise.

By the time we made "Abbey Road", John and I were openly critical of each other's music, and I felt John wasn't much interested in performing anything he hadn't written himself.

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