A hundred years from now, people will listen to the music of the Beatles the same way we listen to Mozart.

I hate the idea of success robbing you of your private life.

Look, people are allowed their own opinions and they don't always coincide with yours. As an artist you just have to keep plugging on.

I like most kinds of music. So I haven't got a bag, as they say... except the big black one in the hall outside.

It's not unusual for writers to look backward. Because that's your pool of resources. If you were to write something now, I bet there's a pretty good chance you'd call on your teenage years, your experiences then, stuff you learned then.

There will be no wardrobe malfunction with me. I can promise you that.... I have nothing I will be exposing or taking off.

I was still 15 when I met John Lennon at a village fete in Woolton, in Liverpool.
