I realize now that taking drugs was like taking an aspirin without having a headache.
I don’t have any desire to learn. I feel it’s like a voodoo, that it would spoil things if I actually learnt how things are done.
There are two things John and I always do when we’re going to sit down and write a song. First of all we sit down. Then we think about writing a song.
Every love song I write is for Linda.
We don’t eat anything that has to be killed for us.
We would normally play it to Cynthia or whoever was around.
I do like Eddie Van Halen as a player. He gets it right quite often.
The thing you must remember is that I’m the Number One John Lennon fan. I love him to this day and I always did love him.
Look, people are allowed their own opinions and they don’t always coincide with yours. As an artist you just have to keep plugging on.
Every time I felt low, I just put on an Elvis record and I’d feel great, beautiful.
People would say to me, “Hey man, you look just like Paul McCartney”, and I’d say: “I wish I had his money!”

We live in hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us.
The Stones also still have a huge following. Mick Jagger leaps around like a crazy dude. And Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts are playing great too.
One may not eat what has a face.
I feel that if I said anything about John, I would have to sit here for five days and say it all. Or I don’t want to say anything.
My dad was a particularly polite kind of guy, very courteous.
