So this is America. They must be out of their minds.

First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.

Everything government touches turns to crap.

People only look at me as a Beatle but my friends look at me as a whole person. That's how life works, but it's not bugging me anymore.

I play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.

We [the band] had this open door policy - if you walked in the door, you were asked to play

When I'm ninety-five and it's 'This is Your Life' time, they'll still be referring to me as 'ex-Beatle'...it does have it's advantages. It's still the best way to get a good table at a resturant.
