A biography for George Harrisonhasn’t been written yet.
“Some of the best songs that I know are the ones I haven't written yet, and it doesn't even matter if I don't ever write them, because it's only small potatoes compared with the big picture.”
“I just got so fed up with the bad vibes. I didn't care if it was the Beatles; I was getting out.”
“I'm sitting here doing nothing but ageing while my guitar gently weeps”
“I'm really quite simple. I plant flowers and watch them grow... I stay at home and watch the river flow.”
“I think of myself as a jungle musician because of my lack of formal training.”
“Muhammad Ali was quite cute.”
“As far as I'm concerned, there won't be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead.”
“To tell the truth, I'd join a band with John Lennon any day, but I couldn't join a band with Paul McCartney, but it's nothing personal. It's just from a musical point of view.”
“The nicest thing is to open the newspapers and not to find yourself in them.”
“I don't think the Beatles were that good. I think they're fine, you know. Ringo's got the best backbeat I've ever heard... Paul is a fine bass player... but he's a bit overpowering at times.”
“Rap bores me, and all the glamour rock groups like Bon Jovi just amuse me. They obviously have a place, but they all sound like they use the same guitar player to me.”
“Obviously we were having an effect, because all these people were clamouring to meet us. Like Muhammad Ali, for instance.”
“The world used us as an excuse to go mad.”
“In the big picture, it doesn't really matter if we never made a record, or we never sang a song. That isn't important.”
“Gossip is the Devil's radio.”
“To the best of my knowledge, none of the Beatles can read music.”
“America has everything, why should they want us.”
“It is better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite.”
“If you don't know where you're going, any road'll take you there”
“Of course, once you've been a Beatle, you're never really out of it. People always want to know what you're up to, and if you don't immediately tell 'em, that's when they start making stuff up.”
