If your dog should be dead, I'm gonna love you instead.
I was so young when I was born.
And so my music, it doesn't matter if I did it 20 years ago or if I did it tomorrow. It doesn't go with trends. My trousers don't get wider and tighter every six months. My music just stays what it is, and that's the way I like it.
I was quite responsible for stirring things up. I conspired to get Ringo in for good; I talked to Paul and John until they came round to the idea.
I'd like to think that all the old Beatle fans have grown up and they've got married and they've all got kids and they're all more responsible, but they still have a space in their hearts for us.
It is an outrage that people can take other people's lives when they obviously haven't got their own lives in order.
The world is a very serious and, at times, very sad place - but at other times it is all such a joke.
I've been the same all along. I talk when I feel like it and I shut up when I don't feel like talking.
What do you think of the criticism that you're not very good?
You're asking me will my love grow. I don't know, I don't know. You stick around now it may show. I don't know, I don't know
While everybody else was going mad, we were actually the sanest people in the whole thing.
In the end, this world will go under because of the stupidity of people.
I believe I love my guitar more than the others love theirs. For John and Paul, songwriting is pretty important and guitar playing is a means to an end. While they're making up new tunes I can thoroughly enjoy myself just doodling around with a guitar for a whole evening. I'm fascinated by new sounds I can get from different instruments I try out. I'm not sure that makes me particularly musical. Just call me a guitar fanatic instead, and I'll be satisfied.
Without going out of my door I can know all things on Earth.
