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

When you get the money, you still need to keep going; you don’t stop. There has to be something else. I think it’s the freedom to do what you want and to live your dreams.

I don’t think of myself as a legend. I just love what I do. I love playing with my band, I love going to beautiful places and give people good music. I love what I do, I`m very lucky man.

There must be a better way to make the things we want, a way that doesn’t spoil the sky, or the rain or the land.

My mum died when I was 14. That is a kind of strange age to lose a mother. John lost his mum when he was 17.

It’s not unusual for writers to look backward. Because that’s your pool of resources. If you were to write something now, I bet there’s a pretty good chance you’d call on your teenage years, your experiences then, stuff you learned then.

By the time we made “Abbey Road”, John and I were openly critical of each other’s music, and I felt John wasn’t much interested in performing anything he hadn’t written himself.

When you’re wide awake say it for goodness sake, it’s gonna be a great day.

I think people who create and write, it actually does flow-just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they write it down. It’s simple.

For tomorrow may rain, so I’ll follow the sun.

What’s wrong with sentimental? Sentimental means you like stuff.

And when the night is cloudy There is still a light that shines on me Shine on until tomorrow, let it Be.

One may not eat what has a face.

My message is a peaceful one and I hope that the idea will spread.

If You can play Your stuff in a pub, then You´re a good band.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly.

There are two things John and I always do when we’re going to sit down and write a song. First of all we sit down. Then we think about writing a song.

I ain’t no entertainer, and ain’t trying to be one. I am one thing, a musician.

Artt Frank is my all-time favorite drummer. He always seems to know where I’m going.

Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself.

Anybody can play. The note is only 20 percent. The attitude of the motherfucker who plays it is 80 percent.

Americans don’t like any form of art, man. All they like to do is make money. They don’t like me, Sammy Davis, or anybody else. They don’t like nothing. They just like Sammy because he can make ’em a lot of money.

Certain drummers drop time, and I like to play on top of the beat.

Whatever I’d say would be an understatement. I can only say my life was made much better by knowing him. He was one of the greatest people I’ve ever known, as a man, a friend, and a musician.

The main thing a musician would like to do is to give a picture to the listener of the many wonderful things he knows of and senses in the universe.
