I like this one from George:
“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 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.”
Guess that could be a problem for him, always beeing known as Beatle-George. Goes for everyone I guess.

Yes, I get the same problem. When I walk down the street people call me Lennypane but they don't realise, it's just a user name on a forum - it's not really who I am!

What is this about an annual illness, George? George: I get cancer every year.
"Rap is just computerized crap. I listen to Top of the Pops and after three songs I feel like killing someone." -George Harrison
"I'd like to think that the old Beatle fans have grown up and they've got married and they've all got kids and they're all more responsible, but they still have a place in their hearts for us."-George Harrison
"I think people who can truly live a life in music are telling the world, "You can have my love, you can have my smiles. Forget the bad parts, you don't need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it's the very best, and it's the part I give most willingly." -George Harrison
