By the time we made "Abbey Road", John and I were openly critical of each other's music, and I felt John wasn't much interested in performing anything he hadn't written himself.

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

I meet so many people that just sort of say, "I want to thank you for your music. It really helped me" or "It changed my life."

I don't work at being ordinary.

I don't ever try to make a serious social comment.

If children are studying the 20th century, I'm in their text books.

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.
