"Fondest memory of being a Beatle: Having three brothers."
"Let's make my birthday, July the 7th at noon, Peace and Love Day. Everybody go, 'Peace and love.' In the office, on the bus, wherever. It's still peace and love for me, I'm a product of the 60s and it was a very influential period in my life, and you know, my head was turned around a bit, my eyes were opened as it were. In fact, I even have it on my arm, 'Peace and love'. I see nothing wrong with peace and love."
"My soul is that of a drummer.... I didn't do it to become rich and famous. I did it because it was the love of my life."
"The Beatles were just four guys that loved each other. That's all they'll ever be."
"Take a dose of rock and roll, and wash it down with cool clear soul."
