Well, for the My Generation album, there was nothing to be nervous about in them days. We used to take every day as it came. Every day was just a gig and I think we did the recording between gigs literally.

It was great fun to hang around the Beatles. They had amazingly fast minds, and they were incredibly amusing and funny and witty. They were great. There was a very high energy surrounding them.

They gave their money, and they gave their screams. But the Beatles kind of gave their nervous systems. They used us as an excuse to go mad, the world did, and then blamed it on us.

Even at al my mother's concerts, I had never seen people go crazy the way they did with the Beatles.

At the end of the Beatles, I really was done in for the first time in my life. Until then, I really was a kind of cocky sod.

It was an experience being on a Beatles tour. They weren't very good. The singing was great, but the playing was a bit weak.

The Beatles have always had a big effect on me.

All you could do was to see them. We were backstage when the Beatles were on and you could just about hear a noise. It was just literally screaming.

I don't think there's anything anybody's doing that the Beatles didn't at least try at some point.
