We were a savage little lot, Liverpool kids, not pacifist or vegetarian or anything. But I feel I've gone beyond that, and that it was immature to be so prejudiced and believe in all the stereotypes.

When you first get money, you buy all these things so no one thinks you're mean, and you spread it around. You get a chauffeur and you find yourself thrown around the back of this car and you think, I was happier when I had my own little car! I could drive myself!

the beatles were always a great band. nothing more nothing less

I like most kinds of music. So I haven't got a bag, as they say... except the big black one in the hall outside.

A hundred years from now, people will listen to the music of the Beatles the same way we listen to Mozart.

Love Me Do, the first song we recorded, John was supposed to sing the lead, but they changed their minds and asked me to sing lead because they wanted John to play harmonica.

So, if I'm cooking, I'll be steaming vegetables, making some nice salad, that kind of stuff.
