Beatles Quotes

I didn’t know much about him, and I wasn’t a big country music fan. I listened to the Beatles and David Bowie, so I didn’t know a lot about him Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the day when the Beatles sold 1 million singles in a week. And all you’ve got to do now is sell about 10,000 singles and you’re in the charts Picture Quote #1

My mom listened to the Beatles and Elvis, a lot of different types of music Picture Quote #1

It’s nearly redundant to enumerate the reasons The Beatles are important. There are probably different reasons why The Beatles are important to a musician like myself and to the millions of Beatles fans who just enjoy listening to the music Picture Quote #1

I don’t remember ‘Doctor Who’ not being part of my life, and it became a part of growing up, along with The Beatles, National Health spectacles, and fog. And it runs deep. It’s in my DNA Picture Quote #1

Paul McCartney and The Beatles in general are my idols. And I love Sting. I got to meet Sting. That was really cool. Dustin Hoffman is my favorite actor. Also, I think of Magic Johnson as an idol Picture Quote #1

The Beatles had a six-year career, from 1963 to 1969, which - to me, in my early 20s - seemed like a phenomenally long time Picture Quote #1

The Dave Clark Five had more appearances on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’ than The Beatles Picture Quote #1

I was the first to promote The Beatles in the States, and Ed Sullivan called me first about them before he ever booked them on his television show Picture Quote #1

I grew up listening to the Beatles and being an ardent Beatles fan when I was in third grade all the way to adulthood, and listening to all kinds of music that came to us either at the flea market or in our living rooms or on the ‘Ed Sullivan’ show - all these places we were influenced by Picture Quote #1

I was into jazz even when I was a kid. My parents would play Ella Fitzgerald, George Shearing, and Dixieland music. I loved The Monkees, The Beatles, The Eagles, and America Picture Quote #1

People don’t realize what they had till it’s gone. Like President Kennedy, there was no one like him, the Beatles, and my man Elvis Presley. I was the Elvis of boxing Picture Quote #1

I came close to signing Elvis Presley. I offered $25,000 for his contract and they asked for $45,000 and I just didn’t have the other $20,000. I should have gotten the Beatles. But one of my lawyers kind of messed up Picture Quote #1

But we weren’t a phenomenon like the Beatles or Elvis Presley or the Rolling Stones: We were only as good as our last hit. We lived on our music and couldn’t slide on anything - and this show is that story Picture Quote #1

Take away all the emotional baggage of any band’s fight, be it The Beatles or The Stones, but in the end, you just enjoy the creativity. That’s what the legacy is Picture Quote #1

Oh, I think country has changed tremendously. I think country has totally changed. Country music when I was a kid was Hank Williams. If you put Hank and Elvis together, there wasn’t that musical difference. But as the Beatles showed up and the English invasion, I think country music got pretty far away from rock n’ roll Picture Quote #1

Daily papers in England used to have an entire page of the paper dedicated to what the Beatles had done the day before Picture Quote #1

Probably my two biggest musical influences were the Everly Brothers and the Beatles, in chronological order. Both of them have had a very simple-sounding musical style that’s actually quite complex as far as popular songs are concerned Picture Quote #1

It probably all started with The Beatles, and then I guess it goes out from there. Springsteen... Fleetwood Mac... I mean, that’s all so inherent in us that when we’re making records now, we take a lot from the artists who are around us Picture Quote #1

But in my imagination this whole thing developed and I started mixing up old folk songs with the Beatles beat and taking them down to Greenwich Village and playing them for the people there Picture Quote #1

Food culture is like listening to the Beatles - it’s international, it’s very positive, it’s inventive and creative Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of famous comedians from Liverpool, then obviously the Beatles, and the football club. That’s what people in Liverpool are passionate about Picture Quote #1

I always kind of think if The Beatles were still around now, people would’ve lost interest quite a long time ago. Seven years of recording - it’s there forever. I think not outstaying your welcome is a vital ingredient Picture Quote #1

When we were trying to get ‘Jersey Boys’ off the ground, I’d get, ‘The Four Seasons? Who’s going to care? There’s the Beatles, there’s the Rolling Stones.’ But people know those stories. Here was a story no one knew Picture Quote #1

I got this Christmas gift with the entire Beatles catalog. I had fun trying to duplicate what I was hearing on these records, only using the instruments I had at hand - an acoustic guitar, and that’s all. It was endlessly amusing to me to try to imitate John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s harmonies using the guitar Picture Quote #1

I think of talent as being God-given. I know that contradicts what a lot of people believe, but that’s how I see it. I think the Beatles were meant to be, you know? So when I listen to Paul McCartney, I think, ‘Here’s the person that God gave the gift of allowing him to write ‘Let It Be.’ Picture Quote #1

Why should The Beatles give more? Didn’t they give everything on God’s earth for ten years? Didn’t they give themselves? Picture Quote #1

My dad is a huge folk music fan, so growing up, there were always records playing in my house. Carole King, James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel, the Beatles - I grew up with this music, and I was aware of how special this music was to a lot of people Picture Quote #1

The Beatles were no trouble... lots of girls. The Stones were black-jacketed guys, a rough crowd. A whole different scene between the Stones’ black leather jackets and the Beatles’ pretty-dressed girls with the ribbons in their hair, teenagers standing on the seats screaming, nothing broken Picture Quote #1

Both the Beatles and The Rolling Stones broke on the music scene the summer I was in England. I can vividly remember hearing She Loves You in August 1963 Picture Quote #1
