The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing.

And I loved Fats Waller. I love his instrumental abilities, his vocal abilities and his sense of humor.

In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Looking back, I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical, and I think my mom was musical.

When you first get money, you buy all these things so no one thinks you're mean, and you spread it around. You get a chauffeur and you find yourself thrown around the back of this car and you think, I was happier when I had my own little car! I could drive myself!

George wrote Taxman, and I played guitar on it. He wrote it in anger at finding out what the taxman did. He had never known before then what could happen to your money.

To keep the record straight, it wasn't always John and Yoko. We've all accused one another of various business things we tend to be pretty paranoid by now, as you can imagine. There's a lot of money involved.

Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.

My dad, bless him, was a musician. And his dad had thought that his music was rubbish.
