Love doesn't come in a minute, sometimes it doesn't come at all.
That's the terrible thing about growing up. You lose friends. It's inevitable. It's not like it's a surprise. But it is terrible.
It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard 'Heartbreak Hotel' I thought, this is it.
It's like a lot of kids; when you tell them someone's died, they laugh.
I was impossible. I don't know how anyone could have lived with me. For the first time in my life, I was on the scrap heap, an unemployed worker.
Being in the audience actually looks like quite a lot of fun.

It was bad on Linda. She had to deal with this guy who didn't want to get out of bed and, if he did, wanted to go back to bed pretty soon after. He wanted to drink earlier and earlier each day and didn't really see the point in shaving. I was generally pretty morbid.

What I have to say is all in the music. If I want to say anything, I write a song.
I can't manage without homeopathy. In fact, I never go anywhere without homeopathic remedies. I often make use of them.
I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough, I only started to get to know her after John's death.
