If there were no Carl Perkins, there would be no Beatles.

It's also not unusual for writers to look backward. Because that's your pool of resources.

There will be an answer. Let it be.

I think people who create and write, it actually does flow-just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they write it down. It's simple.

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.

I don't have any desire to learn. I feel it's like a voodoo, that it would spoil things if I actually learnt how things are done.

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