I'm not a great practiser at all. We were never great practisers. The Beatles would come together for about a day before we had a tour, to make sure the amp worked.

I think the pop industry is still a young man's game.

What I have to say is all in the music. If I want to say anything, I write a song.

I feel that if I said anything about John, I would have to sit here for five days and say it all. Or I don't want to say anything.

I lost my voice. I'd never had to cancel a show before and I had to walk around with a pad and a pen, writing things down.

Think globally, act locally.

If anyone was the Fifth Beatle, it was Brian [Epstein].
