I doubt very much if The Beatles would have happened if it was not for Elvis.

If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.

Think globally, act locally.

The beatles were always a great band. nothing more nothing less.

We got into music to avoid a job, and get lots of girls.

I support decriminalisation. People are smoking pot anyway and to make them into criminals is wrong. It’s when you’re in jail you really become a criminal.

I love to hear a choir. I love the humanity. To see the faces of real people devoting themselves to a piece of music. I like the teamwork. It makes me feel optimistic about the human race when I see them cooperating like that.

If you love your life, everybody will love you too.

I think the French girls are fabulous.
