I want the Pope to have the Christ consciousness. I don't want to just talk about Christ.

I've got my mind set on you. But it's gonna take money, a whole lot of spending money, it's gonna take plenty of money.

If people would just wake up to what's real, there would be no misery in the world. I guess chanting's a pretty good place to start.

I like the idea of seeing Krishna as a baby, the way He's often depicted in India. And also Govinda, the cowherd boy. I like the idea that you can have Krishna as a baby and feel protective to Him, or as your friend, or as the guru or master -- type figure.

I'm the kind of person who would love to play whenever I felt like, with a band, and it might as well be the Holiday Inn in Nebraska -- somewhere where no one knows you, and you're in a band situation just playing music.

I was quite responsible for stirring things up. I conspired to get Ringo in for good; I talked to Paul and John until they came round to the idea.

Rap music is just computerised crap. I listen to Top of the Pops and after three songs I feel like killing someone.

What do you think of the criticism that you're not very good?

It is an outrage that people can take other people's lives when they obviously haven't got their own lives in order.

I hope somebody does this to all my crap demos when I'm dead, making them into hit songs.

Here are some funny songs, there are some songs that we didn't even remember. I heard this song that Ringo is singing, I still don't know the title of it, but it is got the most amazing lyrics and it's a quite a good production. And quite a good tun.

If we were all perfected beings, we wouldn't be here in the physical world.

It's wonderful to look back and think you were part of a force that shaped modern music and influenced the public in so many ways. However, that's all in the past.

Krishna is God, and by chanting His Holy Names, the devotee quickly develops God-consciousness.

The first time I took LSD, it just blew everything away. I had such an incredible feeling of well-being.

If you don't know where you're going, any road'll take you there.

The Beatles exist apart from myself. 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.

Even if it's being a Beatle for the rest of my life, it's still only a temporary thing.

The police are people as well. All those nasty people aren't really nasty if they'd realise it.

It's all in the mind.
