I'll give up this sort of touring madness certainly, but music-everything is based on music. No, I'll never stop my music.
At the point we finished 'Abbey Road,' the game was up. We all accepted that.
I don't think the Beatles were that good. I think they're fine, you know. Ringo's got the best backbeat I've ever heard... Paul is a fine bass player... but he's a bit overpowering at times.
I've always played around in my own mind with what a Wilburys tour could be. Would each person do a solo set and then do Wilburys at the end, or would we all go on right from beginning to end and make everything Wilburys? It's an intriguing thought.
I'm not a fan of that sort of punky, heavy, tinny stuff. I like a nice melody.
America has everything, why should they want us.
If I write a tune and people think it's nice, then that's fine by me, but I hate having to compete and promote the thing. I really don't like promotion.
Obviously we were having an effect, because all these people were clamouring to meet us. Like Muhammad Ali, for instance.
Muhammad Ali was quite cute.
To the best of my knowledge, none of the Beatles can read music.
We got £25 a week in the early Sixties when we were first with Brian Epstein, when we played the clubs.
In the big picture, it doesn't really matter if we never made a record, or we never sang a song. That isn't important.
I wouldn't say that my songs are autobiographical.
The adulation or the superstardom is something I could leave out quite happily.
