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

George wrote Taxman, and I played guitar on it. He wrote it in anger at finding out what the taxman did. He had never known before then what could happen to your money.

But you know, as a kid I would have thought of a vegetarian as a wimp.

I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.

I'm only 49 years old. I'm still in the middle of this whole thing. I don't feel like it's finished at all. I'm still planning to write better songs.

I don't ever try to make a serious social comment.

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
