To jest moja opinia o religii.
With life and all I’ve been through, I do have a belief in goodness, a good spirit. I think what people have done with religion is personified good and evil, so good’s become God with 'o' out, and evil’s become Devil with a 'd' added. That’s my theory of religion. (ang.)

„Prawdopodobnie wyglądamy na antyreligijnych… nikt z nas nie wierzy w Boga.”
We probably seem to be anti-religious… none of us believes in God. (ang.)

Personally, I think you can put any interpretation you want on anything, but when someone suggests that "Can’t Buy Me Love" is about a prostitute, I draw the line. That’s going too far. (ang.)

"Silly Love Songs", 1976
Lyrics, Wings
Kontekst: You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
I look around me and I see it isn't so
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again...
I love you.
