If I were dead, I would be the last to know.

One of my biggest thrills for me still is sitting down with a guitar or a piano and just out of nowhere trying to make a song happen.

Love doesn't come in a minute, sometimes it doesn't come at all.

I have always adored Mahler, and Mahler was a major influence on the music of the Beatles. John and me used to sit and do the Kindertotenlieder and Wunderhorn for hours, we'd take turns singing and playing the piano. We thought Mahler was gear.

If I ever get out of here, thought of giving it all away to a registered charity.

There are two things John and I always do when we're going to sit down and write a song. First of all we sit down. Then we think about writing a song.

By the time we made "Abbey Road", John and I were openly critical of each other's music, and I felt John wasn't much interested in performing anything he hadn't written himself.
