I feel like the sixties is about to happen. It feels like a period in the future to me, rather than a period in the past.

Trumpets are a bit more adventurous; they're drunk! Trumpeters are generally drunk. It wets their whistle.

I think that selling rights is a bad move commercially, not just morally. It cheapens the songs. When people come to my concerts, they often hold up candles when we do "Let It Be." I don't think they'd do that anymore if the song suddenly became part of an Oldsmobile ad.

What I have to say is all in the music. If I want to say anything, I write a song.

The most important ingredient to making a song work is the magic. You've got a melody, you've got words, but on the more successful songs, there's a sort of magic glow that just happens and you can feel it happening. It just makes the songs sort of roll out.

People would say to me, “Hey man, you look just like Paul McCartney”, and I'd say: “I wish I had his money!”
