Pete Best

Anyone who knows the history of the Pete Best Band or the Combo, we were on the verge of breaking in in America. In the mid-'60s, I had great songwriters; we wrote some great stuff.

We were at our best when we were playing in the dance halls of Liverpool and Hamburg. The world never saw that.

When I came back into show business in '88 after spending 20-odd years in the civil service, it wasn't planned.

Women ought to be fully guarded by law in all rights of property, labor, profession, etc.; but, roughly stated, the voting population ought to represent the fighting population.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.
