Beatles Quotes - page 6

When you think about rock at its origin, and you think of the Beatles and millions of kids screaming as loud as they can and running as fast as they can towards the Beatles, there's no one who is that kind of lightning rod, who commands that kind of power and has that kind of creative magma. (Jack Black)
My dealer was a friend of the Beatles and the Stones, and he suggested they used a fine artist. I talked to the Beatles at length about what the cover would be. I worked out it would show the moment after they had played in a bandstand in the park. My big contribution was the life-size cutouts, the magic crowds. View quote
Peter Blake
A song is a song. But there are some songs, ah, some songs are the greatest. The Beatles song Yesterday. Listen to the lyrics. View quote
Chuck Berry
I wrote that; I ran right outside I hopped inside a cab. I went out the other door. You know like the Beatles, when they go in one side and then get out the other side and everyone thinks they're in the cab and they're not. And this Englishman said fab. That was Bob Dylan's 115th Dream, you know the one. If you're a musician, people expect your music to be free. It's like is all plumbing free? Is all electricity free? Is all dentistry free? No. View quote
Dhani Harrison
We idolized the Beatles, except for those of us who idolized the Rolling Stones, who in those days still had many of their original teeth. View quote
Dave Barry
I like ABBA and the Beatles and Led Zeppelin. And E. L. O., and Funkadelic. Wait. Mommy, are they the same thing? View quote
Rachel Trachtenburg
Ah, those were the days. David Bowie, Status Quo, The Beatles ... no end of artists I could say I enjoyed in order to sound clever and pretentious. View quote
Ben Croshaw
I appreciate being picked one of the top 100 performers, but who is number one and who is number two doesn't matter to me anymore. Because it won't be who I think it should be. The Rolling Stones started with me, but they're going to always be in front of me. The Beatles started with me - at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany, before they ever made an album - but they're going to always be in front of me. James Brown, Jimi Hendrix - these people started with me. I fed them, I talked to them, and they're going to always be in front of me. View quote
Little Richard
I had a guitar when I was 6 or 7, a plastic guitar with the Beatles' faces on it. It would be a collector's item now. It would fetch a hefty sum, I imagine. View quote
Gary Oldman
My big love was the Beatles. I was more into music. View quote
Gary Oldman
Miles said he looked on his need for constant change as a curse. However, Miles, along with Duke Ellington, in terms of looking for models of how you strategize with a band, have been there constantly in the background for me. Not the Beatles as a construct for a group, not Led Zeppelin, not the Floyd. My guides have always been Miles and Duke. (Miles Davis)
You're not a baby boomer if you don't have a visceral recollection of a Kennedy and a King assassination, a Beatles breakup, a U.S. defeat in Vietnam, and a Watergate. View quote
P. J. O'Rourke
I was about twenty and the Beatles were meditating and I heard about it and they had a center in New York and I came to the center and I learned about it. View quote
Ray Dalio
My hope is that people who grew up on J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, the poetry of Allen Ginsberg, the folk music of Pete Seeger, the protest ballads of Country Joe, the anarchic insolence of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, the biting satire of Mort Sahl and Lenny Bruce, the acid rock of Bob Dylan, the sociology of Paul Goodman and Herbert Marcuse, the Summer of Love and the Days of Rage, will not be content to spend their retirement years on cruise ships or feeding their Social Security checks into slot machines at the nearest casino.

Theodore Roszak
It's funny because if you ever ask anyone in England to try and do a Beatles accent, no one knows what they really sound like. If you ask anyone in America, they would try and give it a go. English people just know their songs. View quote
Aaron Taylor-Johnson
I actually didn't listen to the Beatles song 'Nowhere Man' when I was writing my book of the same name. What I listened to a lot was 'Abbey Road.' Its disjointedness and its readiness to confuse only to delight were inspiring to me. View quote
Aleksandar Hemon
The only movie I can watch on a loop, over and over, is 'Help', the Beatles movie. It's so funny and irreverent and great. View quote
Emma Stone
You know how the Beatles broke off - they all did their solo projects and they came back together and they were even stronger! View quote
Kelly Rowland
Every night I fell asleep to a different Beatles album. So I'm very familiar with the Beatles; Ringo was my favorite Beatle until I grew up and then changed. I made the switch over to George Harrison just in time to regain my cool. View quote
Christina Ricci
My sister and I shared a bedroom our entire lives and I believe she discovered the Beatles when she was about 11 and I'm four years younger. So from the age of 7 until 17 we had nothing but Beatles paraphernalia in our room, even those little stuffed Beatles that went on stands that are dressed as the Sgt. Pepper band. View quote

The Beatles mean so much to so many people, you know? Everybody has at least one song of The Beatles that's one of their favorite songs of all time. View quote
Evan Rachel Wood
My grandfather lived across the garden from us, and in his attic he had a lot of radios, appliances and inventions that he had made over 50 years, such as a keyboard called a clavioline, which can be heard on some Beatles songs - it was popular in the 60s. So we had all that at home. View quote
Michel Gondry
I suppose, counting back, if the Beatles had been influenced by music in the same length of time ago - you'd have to put that into better English for me, thank you - they would have been like a banjo orchestra. They would have been doing show tunes. View quote
Jonny Greenwood
There was always a lot of American music in England until, obviously when the Beatles came around, then there was a shift towards English music, but before then American music was the main thing... View quote
John Deacon
