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.)

Lyrics, The Beatles
We opened the Indica gallery with John Dunbar, Peter Asher and people like that. I heard about people like John Cage, and that he’d just performed a piece of music called 4’33” (which is completely silent) during which if someone in the audience coughed he would say, ‘See?’ Or someone would boo and he’d say, ‘See? It’s not silence—it’s music.’ I was intrigued by all of that. So these things started to be part of my life. I was listening to Stockhausen; one piece was all little plink-plonks and interesting ideas. Perhaps our audience wouldn’t mind a bit of change, we thought, and anyway, tough if they do! We only ever followed our own noses—most of the time, anyway. ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ was one example of developing an idea.
