There are only four people who knew what the Beatles were about anyway.

Pete Ham in the group was a very good writer. He wrote the Nilsson song "Without You", which is a seriously good song. But the poor fellow topped himself. He was a lovely bloke, I can still see him now. It was a terrible loss.

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 am alive and well and unconcerned about the rumors of my death. But if I were dead, I would be the last to know.

Look, people are allowed their own opinions and they don't always coincide with yours. As an artist you just have to keep plugging on.

I realize now that taking drugs was like taking an aspirin without having a headache.

I used to go round to Aunt Mimi's house and John would be at the typewriter, which was fairly unusual in Liverpool. None of my mates even knew what a typewriter was. Well they knew what it was but they didn't hae one. Nobody had one.
