I think the Beatles is one band that, if I'm working on a song arrangement or if I have some idea for a song, and there's a little bit of a Beatles quality to it, I never avoid that. I always will steer into it.
Listening to the Beatles' music figures into pretty much all of my childhood memories.
When I was a kid, thinking of just being near a Beatle was an unattainable dream.
I like the Beatles very much, and there are certain things about the Stones that I like.
The Beatles and I became fast friends.
It was great fun to hang around the Beatles. They had amazingly fast minds, and they were incredibly amusing and funny and witty. They were great. There was a very high energy surrounding them.
John Lennon was definitely my favorite Beatle, hands down.
The Beatles have always had a big effect on me.
The Beatles are the 'on switch' to my life.
Anything to do with the Beatles is very complicated.
When the Beatles broke up, I thought to myself, 'Dude, seriously?'
My first favorite band that made music important to me was the Beatles. I was a little kid. I didn't know who was singing what song or who wrote what song.
If we'd know we were going to be the Beatles, we'd have tried harder.
The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.
The Beatles. I didn't like the first couple of songs, but when I heard "She Loves You', it was like something went off in my head.
The Beatles were perfect. There's just no other way to say it. They were the perfect band.
To tell the truth, I'd join a band with John Lennon any day, but I couldn't join a band with Paul McCartney, but it's nothing personal. It's just from a musical point of view.
I was there the night John Lennon was shot, three blocks away. It left a lasting impression on me.
The Beatles were something everyone had in common; this was thirty years ago, there was Dr. Who and everybody knew who the Daleks were and there was The Beatles and everybody knew who George Harrison was.
To be quite honest, John Lennon had questionable politics. There was a flip side. He was all peace and love, but he was a very violent character.
If I were in the Beatles, I'd be a good George Harrison.
I loved John Lennon, by the way.
As every teenage girl, I was absolutely obsessed with The Beatles, and the first record I bought was 'Please Please Me.' I'd have been 13 at the time.
Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on 8 Dec 1980.
I knew Paul when he was in the Beatles. We did the second Beatles British tour with the Moody Blues. And we became friends. I went to a couple of the sessions for the 'Sgt. Pepper' album, we went to parties together, we went to see Jimi Hendrix together.
