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.

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

I did study Shakespeare, that was sort of my thing; I got a Literature A-level, which is my only claim to academic fame.

When we were kids growing up in Liverpool, all we ever wanted to be was Elvis Presley.

I can't deal with the press; I hate all those Beatles questions.

Someone like John would want to end the Beatle period and start the Yoko period. He wouldn't like either to interfere with the other.

I've got to admit it's getting better. It's a little better all the time.
