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.

At the end of the Beatles, I really was done in for the first time in my life. Until then, I really was a kind of cocky sod.

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.

A hundred years from now, people will listen to the music of the Beatles the same way we listen to Mozart.

I meet so many people that just sort of say, "I want to thank you for your music. It really helped me" or "It changed my life."

You can't stay in your home town and play because the two people will get tired of seeing you.
