I do have a spongelike ear or mentality or whatever you call it, but it's probably a bit subconscious.

If anyone was the Fifth Beatle, it was Brian [Epstein].

I thought the only lonely place was on the moon.

I'm actually doing what I want with my life. I do sometime think I could just shut up and rest on my laurels and say: you know what guys, I'll operate out of the pocket you put me in.... but no way! No way I'm gonna do that! I'd just get bored stiff the first minute.

I'm always writing songs, and I've got a bunch that I want to record.

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.

When you first get money, you buy all these things so no one thinks you're mean, and you spread it around. You get a chauffeur and you find yourself thrown around the back of this car and you think, I was happier when I had my own little car! I could drive myself!
