Truth is generally the best vindication against slander.

It can never be again! Everyone always talks about a good thing coming to an end, as if life was over. But I'll be 40 when this interview comes out. Paul is 38. Elton John, Bob Dylan - we're all relatively young people. The game isn't over yet. Everyone talks in terms of the last record or the last Beatle concert - but, God willing, there are another 40 years of productivity to go.

As I get older, I get smaller. I see other parts of the world I didn't see before. Other points of view. I see outside myself more.

We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.

Artistic expression, sex, and truth are the only things that really matter.
