"It's
like that image of watching a giraffe going by the
window. People are always just seeing little bits of it, but I try and
see the whole, not just in my own life, but the whole universe, the
whole game. That's what it's all about, isn't it? So whether I'm working
with Paul or Yoko, it's all toward the same end, whatever that
is—self-expression, communication or just being like a tree, flowering
and
withering and flowering and withering."
"Throughout my career, I've selected to work with—for more than a
one-night stand, say, with David Bowie or Elton John—only two people:
Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono. I brought Paul into the original group, the
Quarrymen, he brought George in, and George brought Ringo in. And the
second person who interested me as an artist and somebody I could work
with was Yoko Ono. That ain't bad picking."
