We were pretty good mates until the Beatles started to split up and Yoko came into it. It was more like old army buddies splitting up on account of wedding bells.

The best thing I ever saw was a man who loved his wife.

I hate the idea of success robbing you of your private life.

When you first get money, you buy all these things so no one thinks you're mean, and you spread it around. You get a chauffeur and you find yourself thrown around the back of this car and you think, I was happier when I had my own little car! I could drive myself!

At the end of the Beatles, I really was done in for the first time in my life. Until then, I really was a kind of cocky sod.

I saw that Meryl Streep said, I just want to do my job well. And really, that's all I'm ever trying to do.

It's a powerful thing hearing your friend on a very beautiful song.
