And so this is Xmas for black and for white, for yellow and red, let's stop all the fight.

I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.

It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man.

I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity.

The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.

Everything is clearer when you're in love.

There's nothing you can know that isn't known.

Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.

If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'.
