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

“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.”

“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 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 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.”

“I can't deal with the press; I hate all those Beatles questions.”

“And what's the point of changing when I'm happy as I am?”
