My soul is that of a drummer.... I didn't do it to become rich and famous. I did it because it was the love of my life.

For me, God is in my life. I don't hide from that... I think the search has been on since the '60s.

I never take it as any real pressure. It's like my son. I only gave him one lesson. When I went to give him the second one he said, 'Oh, I can do that dad.' I said, 'Now you're on your own.'

I'm left handed and I'm playing a right handed kit... That's why everyone thought, 'Wow, he's a genius,' but all I was doing was trying to play backwards... It's one of those mad accidents, you can't learn it.

The business is so driven by money, everyone's trying to get it right.

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 learned to knit in hospital. They give you stuff to do to keep you busy because you're so ill.
