I can't deal with the press; I hate all those Beatles questions.
Paul McCartney

I didn't know much about him, and I wasn't a big country music fan. I listened to the Beatles and David Bowie, so I didn't know a lot about him.
Joaquin Phoenix

I do remember actually learning chords to Beatles songs. I thought they were great songwriters.
Mick Taylor

I don't know about friends, but what time I spent with The Beatles they were very courteous to me.
Peter Tork

I don't think anybody comes close to The Beatles, including Oasis.
Brian May

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.
Gary Oldman

I had a really good time in New Orleans, although I had some very tragic times in Baton Rouge. Some guys beat me up and threw my horn away. 'Cause I had a beard, then, and long hair like the Beatles.
Ornette Coleman

I just found out last week - my sister told me - that my father had some Beatles records. So I must have heard them quite a bit, but it never registered, really. Now I listen to them with new ears.
Sheryl Lee

I just got into the Beatles a couple years ago, you know, I like it.
Ziggy Marley

I know when I started I would have been happy to sound like the Beatles or Joe Tex or whoever. You want to sound like most bands, you want to sound like their records and that's how you learn your chops.
Jon Anderson

I like the Beatles, of course, but that's when I grew up.
Elizabeth Moon

I like the Beatles. They're at the core of my musicality. And John Lennon's my spiritual father.
Esai Morales

I liked the Beatles because there was so much melody. Jimi Hendrix is still one of my heroes.
Robert Cray

I mean, Beatles songs were two and a half minutes long, and they're fantastic.
Billy Sherwood

I met The Beatles and Stones at the same time, because Michael Cooper was doing several of their album covers.
Terry Southern

I play guitar and I love the Beatles and melodic music.
Stephen Dorff

I remembered their songs but I had never owned a Beatles album.
Sheryl Lee

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.
Jonny Greenwood

I think that one of the nice things about the Yellow Submarine movie is that it seems to be perennial. People enjoy watching from each generation. And it was like the Beatles themselves. You know the Beatles seem to find new audience each time another generation comes along.
George Martin

I thought if Oasis could get away with sounding like The Beatles, I could get away with sounding like Abba.
Pete Waterman
