George Harrison's quotes

• I'd rather be a musician than a rock star.
• [his last public statement, issued after his death] Everything else can wait but the search for God cannot wait, and love one another.
• [at his induction into the Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame] It's a shame Paul [Paul McCartney] can't be here, because he was the one who had the speech in his pocket.
• [on his teenage years in Liverpool] You couldn't get a cup of sugar, let alone a rock-and-roll record.
• It is better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite.
• I believe I love my guitar more than the others love theirs. For [John Lennon] and [Paul McCartney], songwriting is pretty important and guitar playing is a means to an end.
• If we'd know we were going to be the Beatles, we'd have tried harder.
• My first big break was getting in the Beatles. My second big break was getting out of them.
• Life goes on within you and without you
