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.

I am not religious, but I am spiritual.

There are a lot of artists who haven't lost anything to domesticity. In my case, it probably did happen.

I don't work at being ordinary.

People think once you get famous and rich you move out of the public sphere and you have nothing left to write about. I've heard that - Bruce Springsteen was this real street boy, now he's got this big house. How does that compute? If you don't look at the material side of someone's life, if you look at more the emotional side, there's always a wealth of stuff to write about.

I doubt very much if The Beatles would have happened if it was not for Elvis.

I still believe that love is all you need. I don't know a better message than that.
