I just realized what a great band they were. They were just kids when we did it in the ’60s. I guess I fell in love with them all over again.

I thought more about going too far when I worked on “Sgt. Pepper” than on “Love.” One of the advantages of growing really old is you don’t give a damn anymore.

John once told me he would like to re-record everything. I said, “You can’t mean it. What about Strawberry Fields?” He looked at me over his steel specs and said, “Oh, especially ‘Strawberry Fields’!”

John was certainly a very cool person. But there are plenty of cool people around now. Ravi Shankar for one, and Roger Federer for another. But not George Bush.

No. I hate that epithet. There never was a fifth Beatle. I was just a guy who was lucky enough to sign them and enjoy working with them on some great music.

Of course not.
