There must be a better way to make the things we want, a way that doesn't spoil the sky, or the rain or the land

I meet so many people that just sort of say, "I want to thank you for your music. It really helped me" or "It changed my life."

There's nothing like the eureka moment of knocking off a song that didn't exist before - I won't compare it to sex, but it lasts longer.

I am a vegetarian because I realized that even little chickens suffer pain and fear, experience a range of feelings and emotions, and are as intelligent as mammals, including dogs, cats, and even some primates.

What I have to say is all in the music. If I want to say anything, I write a song.

My message is a peaceful one and I hope that the idea will spread.

Having a beard is natural. When you think about it, shaving it off is quite weird.

I realized marvelling at nature was a deep pleasure of mine.

The good Lord made this world and everything that's in it. The way I see it, baby, you got to love it to the limit.

I think people who create and write, it actually does flow-just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they write it down. It's simple.

When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.

When you're wide awake say it for goodness sake, it's gonna be a great day.

There are only four people who knew what the Beatles were about anyway.

Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.

No one is out to break your heart, it only seems that way.

The best thing I ever saw was a man who loved his wife.

There will be an answer. Let it be.

To this day, if I ever meet grownups who play ukulele, I love 'em.

One may not eat what has a face.
