I'm Not Going To Change The Way

The Idea Of Being A Rock And Roll Musician Sort Of Suited My Talents And Mentality. The Freedom Was Great, But Then I Found Out I Wasn't Free. I'd Got Boxed In...the Whole Beatle Thing Is Just Beyond Comprehension ... Subconsciously I Was Crying For Help.

My Role In Society, Or Any Artist's Or Poet's Role, Is To Try And Express What We All Feel. Not To Tell People How To Feel. Not As A Preacher, Not As A Leader, But As A Reflection Of Us All.

I Realized That Kids Everywhere Go For The Same Stuff; And Seeing As We'd Done It In England, There's No Reason Why We Couldn't Do It In America Too.

In My Case I've Never Not Been Political, Though Religion Tended To Overshadow It In My Acid Days.

I Don't Want To Be King, I Want To Be Real.
