What good are three Beatles without John?
The best slide solo I ever played was on... what's her name? That girl singer who used to be with that all-girl band? ... Belinda Carlisle of the Go-Go's! That's who it was. I played on one of her albums.
People say I'm the Beatle who changed the most, but to me, that's what life's about.
The Beatles will go on and on.
Some of the best songs that I know are the ones I haven't written yet, and it doesn't even matter if I don't ever write them, because it's only small potatoes compared with the big picture.
I just write a song, and it just comes out however it wants to. And some of them are catchy songs like 'Here Comes The Sun,' and some of them aren't, you know.
I wasn't Lennon, or I wasn't McCartney. I was me. And the only reason I started to write songs was because I thought, 'Well, if they can write them, I can write them.'
We were the Spice Boys.
After all we did for Britain, selling that corduroy and making it swing, all we got was a bit of tin on a piece of leather.
There's high, and there's high, and to get really high - I mean so high that you can walk on the water, that high-that's where I'm going.
The Beatles saved the world from boredom.
Down through the ages, there has always been the spiritual path. It's been passed on - it always will be - and if anybody ever wants it in any age, it's always there.
I wanted to collaborate with someone, but it had to be someone I could work with and who wouldn't disrespect my past.
Rap bores me, and all the glamour rock groups like Bon Jovi just amuse me. They obviously have a place, but they all sound like they use the same guitar player to me.
I never listen to the radio to keep up with current trends.
The fact that we're all here in these bodies means that we're not perfected.
The Concert for Bangladesh was just a moral stance.
Although I have guitars all around, and I pick them up occasionally and write a tune and make a record, I don't really see myself as a musician. It may seem a funny thing to say. It's just like, I write lyrics, and I make up songs, but I'm not a great lyricist or songwriter or producer. It's when you put all these things together - that makes me.
Because we were all from Liverpool, we favored people who were street people.
Of course, once you've been a Beatle, you're never really out of it. People always want to know what you're up to, and if you don't immediately tell 'em, that's when they start making stuff up.
