I'm actually doing what I want with my life. I do sometime think I could just shut up and rest on my laurels and say: you know what guys, I'll operate out of the pocket you put me in.... but no way! No way I'm gonna do that! I'd just get bored stiff the first minute.

A lot of the Beatles albums were very various, and we did it on purpose: We didn't want the next track to sound like the last one.

To this day, if I ever meet grownups who play ukulele, I love 'em.

The ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty.

People who paint, including myself, get to a point where a bit of angst comes in. If you're doing it for a living, it's worth it to suffer those slings and arrows.

Alas, it looks like those unsubstantiated rumours about me are about to come true after all this time.

I play to all people, and I play to people not governments, and I believe strongly that all people are peaceful and would want peace.
