John could write a mean song. He had a lot of venom in him. Whereas I had a happy childhood.

Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.

If I were dead, I would be the last to know.

Where I come from, you don't really talk about how much you're earning. Those things are private. My dad never told my mum how much he was earning. I'm certainly not going to tell the world. I'm doing well.

I took my brains out and stretched them on the rack, now I'm not too sure I'm gonna get them back.

When I see bacon, I see a pig, I see a little friend, and that's why I can't eat it. Simple as that.

I would have liked the Beatles never to have broken up. I wanted to get us back on the road doing small places, then move up to our previous form and then go and play. Just make music, and whatever else there was would be secondary.
