“Every time I felt low, I just put on an Elvis record and I’d feel great, beautiful.”

If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat.

Songs have some kind of structure that connects with people`s hearts.

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.

What turns me on about the digital age, what excited me personally, is that you have closed the gap between dreaming and doing. You see, it used to be that if you wanted to make a record of a song, you needed a studio and a producer. Now, you need a laptop.

My voice is like a car that I get into and drive but I don’t know where I’m going. And I record everything.

We sing some song that we made up but I don’t want to make a record like that.

And that’s what brought the regime down. The last South African Finance Minister, Barend du Plessis, went on record as saying that it was the investment sanctions that put the final nail in the coffin of apartheid.

I am the entertainer, I’ve come to do my show You’ve heard my latest record, it’s been on the radio

There were days on that show where I had to go in and record a song, then I had to rehearse the dance for that song, and then I had to go and shoot a separate scene. That would be one day. So yeah, it was about the value of time and being prepared, and not to freak out.

I try not to record them on my Dictaphone when I first hear them. If I forget all about it and it pops up later on, then I know it’s good enough. I let my subconscious do the editing for me.

I didn’t want to be a big record mogul and all that stuff. I just wanted to write songs and make people laugh.
