There must be a better way to make the things we want, a way that doesn't spoil the sky, or the rain or the land

Putting two songs together, I've always loved that trick when it works.

I'm mad, you know? I don't think of retiring at all.

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

That's not really important what religion people are attached to, because by the same argument I have a lot of Christian friends and Moslem friends. It's just happened that I do have a lot of relatives and friends who are Jewish.

So many times, I will have people tell me what I did when I was younger. There's so much being written [about] the early Beatles period, and even pre-Beatles period. And people will say, "Oh, he did that because that, and that happened because of that." And I'll be reading and think, "Well, that didn't happen" and, "That's not why I did that." Like anyone's history, you remember what went down better than people who weren't there.

I can take pot or leave it. I got busted in Japan for it. I was nine days without it and there wasn't a hint of withdrawal, nothing.
