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 think when you're making an album, as the songs are piling up, one of the good things about it is that you will often write the song that you need.

Songs have some kind of structure that connects with people`s hearts.

I play to all people, and I play to people not governments, and I believe strongly that all people are peaceful and would want peace.

Where I come from, you don't really talk about how much you're earning. Those things are private. My dad never told my mum how much he was earning. I'm certainly not going to tell the world. I'm doing well.

We were pretty good mates until the Beatles started to split up and Yoko came into it. It was more like old army buddies splitting up on account of wedding bells.

You've got to believe in yourself. ..it really is true, because that's one thing about the Beatles...Man, we believed in ourselves. We knew we were good.
