I've never broken a bone in my life, or in my body.

The kids are interested in the music of them. They're not interested in mop-tops and Beatle boots and crazy suits. It's all down to the music now - that's what they hear, and that's what they love.

John had Julian and I had Zak so we'd try to do the fatherly things. We'd try to do manly things too; we'd go to the pub and bring Maureen and Cynthia a Babycham or something- a real Liverpool attitude

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.

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

I've never had any big ideas about being the solo.

I met The Beatles while we were playing in Germany. We'd seen them in Liverpool, but they were a nothing little band then, just putting it together. In fact, they weren't really a band at all.
