We don't eat anything that has to be killed for us.

I was still 15 when I met John Lennon at a village fete in Woolton, in Liverpool.

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

My stepmother sold my birth certificate and someone asked why I didn't buy it back. I don't know, really. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It was mine. It cost me nothing and suddenly I had to buy it back.

Help them to learn songs of joy, instead of burn, baby, burn.

The interesting thing about the Beatles was: The music was one thing, but we kind of symbolized a certain kind of freedom at a time when people of our generation were just growing up and just becoming adults.

It's a powerful thing hearing your friend on a very beautiful song.
