John Wayne was a consummate gentleman. Bigger than life.
This music won't do. There's not enough sarcasm in it.
People say the Beatles were John Lennon. What is Paul McCartney? Chopped liver? But everyone has their own favourite members whose creativity they gravitate to. That's normal.
I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn't want to be a frontman. I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.
With every song that I write, I compare it to the Beatles. The thing is, they only got there before me. If I'd been born at the same time as John Lennon, I'd have been up there.
'The Beatles' did whatever they wanted. They were a collection of influences adapted to songs they wanted to write. George Harrison was instrumental in bringing in Indian music. Paul McCartney was a huge Little Richard fan. John Lennon was into minim...
God, I love John Cassavetes.
The production value of YouTube videos is not there.
The laws of morals and the laws of music are the same.
Thanks to the Japanese and Geronimo, John Wayne became a millionaire.
I wouldn't like to interview John Lennon, no, because I'd ask him one question and it'd go to another thing and I'd end up licking his face.
I think what made John Lennon so exciting as an artist is that, like Dylan and other musicians with a truly important musical legacy, he had several faces, personas that changed over time as he developed.
What one gets, I hope, is that all you can do is the best you can do.
I've met Nicole Kidman, Elton John, loads of people.
Please write music like Wagner, only louder.
I grew up with reggae music.
All I have, really, is my creativity.
I'm a kibitzer with a broad portfolio.
If you don't trust the pilot, don't go.
I trust no one, not even myself.
Although it wasn't that easy to do, it was wonderful working with John Wayne.
