It was bad on Linda. She had to deal with this guy who didn't want to get out of bed and, if he did, wanted to go back to bed pretty soon after. He wanted to drink earlier and earlier each day and didn't really see the point in shaving. I was generally pretty morbid.

What I have to say is all in the music. If I want to say anything, I write a song.

I don't take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don't mind.

None of us wanted to be the bass player. In our minds he was the fat guy who always played at the back.

I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough, I only started to get to know her after John's death.

One of things about beards is that, when men reach a certain age, they'd like to see if they can grow one. It's a phenomenon I understand very well. After you get over the itchy face, you go, "Oh, I don't have to shave, that's cool." And then you move into the philosophical thing- people say, "You look weird, you have a beard." And you say, "No, actually, it's weird to shave." Having a beard is natural. When you think about it, shaving it off is quite weird.
