I meditate and I also think about meditation. Which is funny. I think about Maharishi, about just the idea of meditating. It gives me something.
I listen to oldies but goodies stations, '60s and '70s music.
I was very, very financially secure my whole life. I have been very lucky to say that.
You know Chuck, Buddy, and Elvis paved the road. The roots are deep inside us, it's the rhythm in our soul.
I'm happy; I'm a happy person.
I have auditory hallucinations, I hear voices saying derogatory things, like I'm terrible and I'm going to die, and they're usually worse in the afternoon.
I can write songs, I've had songs in movies, but I can't compose film scores, you know?

I met Paul in 1967, Ringo in 1985, and I saw George Harrison in a nightclub somewhere in L. A. I never met John.
I've never written one note or word of music simply because I think it will make money.
