I Had To Really Kill Off All The Religious Myths.

It's The Result Of Your Parents And Your Environment.

Sitting On A Cornflake, Waiting For The Van To Come...

Music Is Everybody's Possession.

Mahatma Gandhi And Martin Luther King Are Great Examples Of Fantastic Nonviolents Who Died Violently. I Can Never Work That Out. We're Pacifists, But I'm Not Sure What It Means When You're Such A Pacifist That You Get Shot. I Can Never Understand That.

Without Jimmy Dean, The Beatles Never Would Have Existed.

They Hit You At School, They Hate You If Your Clever, And They Despise A Fool.

The Beatles Is Over, But John, Paul, George, And Ringo...god Knows What Relationship They'll Have In The Future. I Don't Know. I Still Love Those Guys! Because They'll Always Be Those People Who Were That Part Of My Life.

All The Revolutions Have Happened When A Fidel Or Marx Or Lenin Or Whatever, Who Were Intellectuals, Were Able To Get Through To The Workers. They Got A Good Pocket Of People Together And The Workers Seemed To Understand That They Were In A Repressed State.

I Thought Of Nothing Else But Rock 'n' Roll; Apart From Sex And Food And Money--but That's All The Same Thing, Really.

Whatever Gets You Through The Night

I'm Not Going To Change The Way I Look Or The Way I Feel To Conform To Anything.

Produce Your Own Dream. If You Want To Save Peru, Go Save Peru. It’s Quite Possible To Do Anything, But Not If You Put It On The Leaders And The Parking Meters. Don’t Expect Carter Or Reagan Or John Lennon Or Yoko Ono Or Bob Dylan Or Jesus Christ To Come And Do It For You. You Have To Do It Yourself.

The Only Reason I Am A Star Is Because Of My Repression. Nothing Else Would Have Driven Me Through All That If I Was 'normal'.

Well, I Don't Want To Be King, I Want To Be Real.

Carrying The Beatles' Or The Sixties' Dream Around All Your Life Is Like Carrying The Second World War And Glenn Miller Around. That's Not To Say You Can't Enjoy Glenn Miller Or The Beatles, But To Live In That Dream Is The Twilight Zone. It's Not Living Now. It's An Illusion.

The Main Hangup In The World Today Is Hypocrisy And Insecurity. If People Can't Face Up To The Fact Of Other People Being Naked Or Smoking Pot, Or Whatever They Want To Do, Then We're Never Going To Get Anywhere. People Have Got To Become Aware That It's None Of Their Business And That Being Nude Is Not Obscene. Being Ourselves Is What's Important. If Everyone Practiced Being Themselves Instead Of Pretending To Be What They Aren't, There Would Be Peace.

I Keep On Reading The Morning Star Newspaper To See If There's Any Hope, But It Seems To Be In The 19th Century; It Seems To Be Written For Dropped-out, Middle-aged Liberals.

I Was A Working-class Macho Guy Who Was Used To Being Served And Yoko Didn't Buy That. From The Day I Met Her, She Demanded Equal Time, Equal Space, Equal Rights.

As A Child I Did A Lot Of Imaginary Bits, You Know. It Depends On The Individual, I Enjoyed Then Knocking The Nail In, I Enjoy Knocking Nails In Walls To Hang Pictures Up, But I Also Enjoy Thinking 'i'm Gonna Do That' But I Actually Won't Do It, I Enjoy Imagining Doing Things Just As Much.

It Just Was A Gradual Development Over The Years. I Mean Last Year Was 'all You Need Is Love.' This Year, It's 'all You Need Is Love And Peace, Baby.' Give Peace A Chance, And Remember Love. The Only Hope For Us Is Peace. Violence Begets Violence. You Can Have Peace As Soon As You Like If We All Pull Together. You're All Geniuses, And You're All Beautiful. You Don't Need Anyone To Tell You Who You Are. You Are What You Are. Get Out There And Get Peace, Think Peace, And Live Peace And Breathe Peace, And You'll Get It As Soon As You Like.

What I'd Have Liked Would Have Been The Money And The Hit Records Without The Fame.

I Suppose If I Had Said Television Was More Popular Than Jesus, I Would Have Gotten Away With It. I'm Sorry I Opened My Mouth. I'm Not Anti-god, Anti-christ, Or Anti-religion. I Wasn't Knocking It Or Putting It Down. I Was Just Saying It As A Fact And It's True More For England Than Here. I'm Not Saying That We're Better Or Greater, Or Comparing Us With Jesus Christ As A Person Or God As A Thing Or Whatever It Is. I Just Said What I Said And It Was Wrong. Or It Was Taken Wrong.

I've Never Met Anybody Who's Had A Flashback In My Life And I Took Millions Of Trips In The Sixties, And I've Never Met Anybody Who Had Any Problem.

'we're Going To Stay In Our Rooms And Play Rock And Roll And Not Do Anything Else, Because The World's A Nasty Horrible Place, Because It Didn't Give Us Everything We Cried For.' Right?
