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.

There must be a better way to make the things we want, a way that doesn't spoil the sky, or the rain or the land

You can fill my appetite without me taking up a bite.

That's not really important what religion people are attached to, because by the same argument I have a lot of Christian friends and Moslem friends. It's just happened that I do have a lot of relatives and friends who are Jewish.

To this day, if I ever meet grownups who play ukulele, I love 'em.

I would have liked the Beatles never to have broken up. I wanted to get us back on the road doing small places, then move up to our previous form and then go and play. Just make music, and whatever else there was would be secondary.

It's a lifelong gift, something you can call on at any time.
