You tussle with it and play with it and roll around with it and suddenly, magically, something appears.”

I'm actually a target to be dropped, because that's just not enough records for a big company.”

“I'm not the creative one. I know that. If Rory Storm hadn't come along... and then The Beatles... I would have continued running around in teddyboy gangs. Today, well... I'd probably be a laborer. I'm glad I'm not, of course. It'll be nice to be part of history... some sort of history anyway. What I'd like to be is in school history books and be read by kids.”
