I have such an admiration for John [Lennon], like most people. But to be the guy who wrote with him, well that's enough. Right there you could retire and go, 'Jesus I had a fantastic life. Take me, Lord.'
We don't eat anything that has to be killed for us. We've been through a lot and we've reached a stage where we really value life.
It's a lifelong gift, something you can call on at any time.
It's like if you're an astronaut and you've been to the moon, what do you want to do with the rest of your life?
If you love your life, everybody will love you too.
I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.
In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
And when at last I find you/ Your song will fill the air.
Having a beard is natural. When you think about it, shaving it off is quite weird.
I think people who create and write, it actually does flow-just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they write it down. It's simple.
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
I like the idea that people hear my stuff, and if it's commercially successful, that's a good sign that it's being heard.
With the Beatles, we'd been very spoiled because we had George Martin who worked for the record label we were going to be signed to. That was very fortunate, because we grew together.
I'm the worst on facts about me or facts about the Beatles.
