The point is it is amazing that the generations have joined in the Beatle madness and love the music. Who knew?

I used to wish I could write songs like the others - and I've tried but I just can't. I get the words all right, but whenever I think of a tune and sing it to the others they always say 'Yeah, it always sounds like such a thing' and when they point it out I see what they mean. But I did get a part credit as a composer on one - it was called What Goes On.

I'm a musician and I'm really blessed, because in my life if I can hold the sticks, I can play.

Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.

The White Album is important to me for different reasons. One - I had left the band on the White Album.

I don't particularly like messages, because everybody takes whatever they take from whatever.

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.'
