We did not get any money from the early records. It was all taken by crooked managers. It is just a gangster's paradise.

People say, oh it's a shame, you're not nostalgic about the '60s. Well actually, it's quite good, when you think of it. Wouldn't it be sad if I was sitting here wishing it back?

I know people who grow old and bitter. I want to keep making a fresh start. I don't want them to defeat me. That would be suicidal.

Being big and famous doesn't get you more freedom, it gets you less.
