I did the first backwards guitar solo on ‘I’m Only Sleeping’
Dhani Harrison
If you were the first person ever to design an application for the iPhone and you patented it, you would be very, very better off than we are right now, you know? But you've got to be the first one to do it. So I figured that Led Zeppelin or the Stones were going to do it unless we just got on to it. So I got cracking with the guys from Apple.

To come out in the music business, you only really get one shot. A lot of people get to play small gigs first, and build up that way, without anyone really seeing them.

Someone recently played me 'Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell' by Das Racist. That should be my theme song.

I've grown up around cinema. Michael Kamen was a very, very close friend of mine, sort of my godfather. So I know how much work goes into it. You have to know what you're doing.

I was always brutally teased for being George Harrison's son. That was from the age of about four or five, before I even knew who he was. And for seven years people would follow me about school singing 'Yellow Submarine.' I still can't listen to that song to this day.

I was very empty after my father passed away. It was an emotional time, as it would be for anyone, but to be in the studio every day was kind of cathartic and healing and it just seemed very natural to continue.

Websites are kind of useless. There's so much great web content and design out there, but the ways in which they are being experienced are not being maximized.
Dhani Harrison
I was an only child. I hung out with my parents.
Dhani Harrison
Once I started to get older, my father would say, 'You look more like George Harrison than I do'
Dhani Harrison
Im still getting used to being called a composer. A poseur, maybe.
Dhani Harrison
One interviewer asked me: 'How do you feel that you've betrayed your father?' That wasn't really very cool.
Dhani Harrison
I could never just play in a pub in front of four people because I would have had all the press turn up. That way, you don't get to build up naturally. It makes the work feel unnatural, and puts a lot of unnatural pressure on you.
Dhani Harrison
I don't really plan to be a pop star I just want to be able to make music without the whole My Dad thing hanging over me, which everyone in my position goes through.
Dhani Harrison
The music I want to hear in my head sounds somewhere between Jimi Hendrix and Massive Attack. It's not really like my dad, but there will always be similarities because we have the same vocal cords, and I learnt the guitar the way he taught me.
Dhani Harrison
I sometimes listen to music I made and find it to be something I wouldn't want to buy from a store, if there was a store. When it's like that, you have to make what you want to hear.
Dhani Harrison
I don't ever use my name for anything in terms of getting the music heard.
Dhani Harrison
My job description is... being enthusiastic.
Dhani Harrison
I did everything I could to not be a musician.

You don't have to burn books, you don't have to rebel against teachers to rebel to rebel is to truly own your own self.
