I believe that in the future meditation could be as commonplace in schools and society as eco-awareness is now. It interests me that an ancient cure may be the solution to a modern problem.

I'm actually doing what I want with my life. I do sometime think I could just shut up and rest on my laurels and say: you know what guys, I'll operate out of the pocket you put me in.... but no way! No way I'm gonna do that! I'd just get bored stiff the first minute.

You can fill my appetite without me taking up a bite.

I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough, I only started to get to know her after John's death.

I'm mad, you know? I don't think of retiring at all.
Paul McCartney

My mum died when I was 14. That is a kind of strange age to lose a mother. John lost his mum when he was 17.

No matter how accomplished or how many awards you get, you're always still thinking there's somebody out there who's better than you.

Going to do it to you sweet banana, like it's never been done, and we'll get high, high, high, in the mid-day sun.

My thing is about following the accidental, more than trying to paint an accurate bowl of apples. I enjoy most following the paint. It leads me somewhere else. I think I enjoy just letting the magic unfold and letting the spirit of the paint tell me where we're going.

The good Lord made this world and everything that's in it. The way I see it, baby, you got to love it to the limit.
