“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.”

“I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.”

“Somebody said to me, 'But the Beatles were anti-materialistic.' That's a huge myth. John and I literally used to sit down and say, 'Now, let's write a swimming pool.”

“I think people who create and write, it actually does flow – just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they right it down. It’s simple.”

“What I have to say is all in the music. If I want to say anything, I write a song.”

“When we were kids we always used to say, ‘Okay, whoever dies first, get a message through.’When John died, I thought, ‘Well, maybe we’ll get a message,’ because I know he knew the deal. I haven’t had a message from John.”

“I am alive and well and unconcerned about the rumors of my death. But if I were dead, I would be the last to know.”
