Quotable Quotes:

"When real music comes to me - the music of the spheres, the music that surpasseth understanding - that has nothing to do with me, 'cause I'm just the channel. The only joy for me is for it to be given to me, and to transcribe it like a medium...those moments are what I live for." (IMDB)

"A part of me would like to be accepted by all facets of society and not be this loudmouthed lunatic poet/musician. But I cannot be what I am not ... I was the one who all the other boys' parents – including Paul's father – would say, "Keep away from him" "

"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."

"Children can reinvent your world for you but your husband will not help."

"One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team. "

"John Lennon's life was a shining example of the power of music and activism, and his untimely passing left a void that can never be filled. (V)"
