Reporter ~ "What do you think of the American girls, as opposed to the British girls?"
George ~ "They're the same, only they speak with an accent."
(reminds me of TheEnd-Saying I had the accent)

Reporter ~ "Do you hope to take anything home with you?"
George ~ "Rockefeller Center."

Reporter: What do you plan to do after the breakup of the Beatles?
Paul: No one has made any plans, but John and I will probably carry on songwriting and George will go into basketball.
George: Or rollerskating. I haven't really decided.

'Paul came round to my house one evening
     to look at the guitar manuel I had, which I
     could never work out. We learned a couple
     of chords from it and managed to play " Don't
     You Rock Me, Daddy-O" with two chords.'

     'We probably loved the Cavern best of
     anything. We never lost our identification with
     the audience all the time. We never rehearsed
     anything, not like the other groups who kept
     on copying The Shadows.'

"It was like having diarrhea and not being allowed to go to the toilet. I think a lot of people were surprised to see, 'Oh, he writes songs, too.'" (Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine about his relative lack of contribution to The Beatles' song lyrics.)

The main gist of it is to find the most ancient Beatle music possible. It comes in chronological order through the various other records we d made and bring it up to date, up to now. We want to put as many songs on the CD's as possible, to make it of greater value. So, we put like 60 minutes or 70 minutes or like 25 songs on a CD. We re talking really about an historical thing now.

 


The Beatles will go on and on.

 


The biggest break in my career was getting into the Beatles in 1962. The second biggest break since then is getting out of them.

 


The thing that pleases me the most about it is that young people like it. It's given kids from 6 to 16 an alternate view of music to what's been available for the past 20 years.

"At first it was fun. We enjoyed it in the early years. But then it just became tiresome. When we went out on the first trip to America, it was the novelty of "conquering America."

Reporter: "We've wondered why you've said so little."
George: "I'm just the anonymous Beatle, but I don't mind as long as they split the money with me."

Reporter: "Now that you've learned to play the sitar, do you expect to learn any more instruments?"
George: "I haven't learned to play the sitar. I mean, Ravi Shankar hasn't LEARNED to play it, and he's been playing it thirty-five years."

"As far as I'm concerned, there won't be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead."

"We were the Spice Boys."
(I have a hard time forgiving him that one ;))

"The Beatles exist apart from my Self. I am not really Beatle George. Beatle George is like a suit or shirt that I once wore on occasion and until the end of my life people may see that shirt and mistake it for me. "

"The cause of death is birth is life so if you don't want to die, don't be born"

"I'm a tidy sort of bloke. I don't like chaos. I kept records in the record rack, tea in the tea caddy, and pot in the pot box."
(I've seen a couple versions of this, I dono which one is the real one...)

(laugh2) I'd never heard that one before!

From the Anthology: "My earliest recollection is of sitting on a pot of the top of the stairs, having a poop--shouting, 'Finished!'"

Even though he (or as we know) socialized seldomly, he seems to always crack a few good jokes.
