I find the older one gets the harder it is to keep the weight off, even if one isn't eating very fattening foods. Once, I was able to put foods like those away, and they didn't show up on the bathroom scales the next morning. But that was when I was very physically active, travelling all over the world and burning up more calories.
Food is less important to me because I've learned to control my appetite to a great extent, simply by having my mind elsewhere. I find when I'm busy meditating on other aspects of my life I go without eating and I don't miss it.
I don't feel the need for unusual or glamorous foods like caviar, and I tend more towards ordinary, satisfying food.
I do believe in growing old gracefully, and when the time comes that I would look silly performing on stage, I'll be prepared to give it up without regrets.
I'd rather be a musician than a rockstar.
Experience is the main reason why we`re here, I think, in the world -- to gain experience. And from our experience we gain knowledge ... and if we get any knowledge, then we gain liberation.
America has everything, why should they want us.
If your dog should be dead, I'm gonna love you instead.
I was so young when I was born.
And so my music, it doesn't matter if I did it 20 years ago or if I did it tomorrow. It doesn't go with trends. My trousers don't get wider and tighter every six months. My music just stays what it is, and that's the way I like it.
I was quite responsible for stirring things up. I conspired to get Ringo in for good; I talked to Paul and John until they came round to the idea.
I'd like to think that all the old Beatle fans have grown up and they've got married and they've all got kids and they're all more responsible, but they still have a space in their hearts for us.
It is an outrage that people can take other people's lives when they obviously haven't got their own lives in order.
The world is a very serious and, at times, very sad place - but at other times it is all such a joke.
