At the end of the Beatles, I really was done in for the first time in my life. Until then, I really was a kind of cocky sod.

Some people don't believe in climate warning - like those who don't believe there was a Holocaust.

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.

It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard 'Heartbreak Hotel' I thought, this is it.

I definitely did look up to John. We all looked up to John. He was older and he was very much the leader; he was the quickest wit and the smartest.

When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.

Sometimes you write a song in a certain era and it's got a certain kind of significance.
