"Songwriting is like ... being possessed. You..." - Quote by John Lennon

“All we are saying is give peace a chance.”

“The world is still spinning and so are we and so are you. When the spinning stops - that'll be the time to worry. Not before.”

“When I get older losing my hair many years from now. Will you still be sending me a Valentine. Birthday greetings, bottle of wine? If I'd been out till quarter to three would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When I'm sixty-four?”

“I ain't never far away from a pencil and paper or a tape recorder.”

“By the time I was 12 or 13, I felt that I was special, because I could play the guitar and write songs.”

“I've copyrighted 3,000 songs.”

“Many a fervid man writes books as cold and flat as graveyard stones.”

“I think self-expression is present at all times, and whether or not you're talking about the outside world or your responses to it depends on the moment and the subject.”

“All artists need a room of their own”
