Folk music is a bunch of fat people.

I don't care what people say about my relationship; I don't care what they say about my boobs. People are buying my songs; I have a sold-out tour. I'm getting incredible feedback from my music.

Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.

People are afraid of Beatle music. They are still afraid of my songs. Because they got that big image thing: You can't do a Beatle number... You can't touch a Lennon song; only Lennon can do it... It's garbage! Anybody can do anything. A few people in the past have done Beatle songs. But in general they feel you can't touch them. And there are so many good singles that the Beatles wrote that were never released. Why don't people do them? It's good for me; it's good for Paul. It's good for all of us.

Real music lovers are actually my favourite kind of people because they like to know, rather than just be told what to think.

Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.
