Q: “But you do exercise free choice and you have chosen to do with your life what you’re doing with your life, to express yourself with your music and to try to tell other people.”
George Harrison: “To a degree but… I, I don’t really choose — I mean, this is a funny thing to say, in some respects my life, to be me I’m not sure if it is a blessing or a curse, you see, because the blessing is that you’re rich and famous and all this looks rosy but on the other hand behind the scenes to know what then you expect from yourself by knowing what you know through being what you… that’s the thing of learning and knowledge, and then of what others expect of you, and then all the million situations you get involved in by being that person. You know, this goes like anybody who goes through a similar sort of situation, then in some respects it’s a pain in the neck.”
Q: “Is it sometimes quite lonely?”
GH: “Sure, sometimes it is. You know, sometimes it’s hard, you just like to be anonymous, you know, sometimes I just like to be invisible, even after ten or whatever, twelve years of that, I still find it… I can’t even go out — if I wanna go out and watch somebody singing at the Roxy or something, I go in there and it’s like, it’s like the club tilts, you know, over and I become part of the show and that’s amazing after all that time. Sometimes it’s nice to be invisible and just go out and just be nobody.” - radio interview (1975)
“[George] was with Olivia who looked lovely, with her hair on top of her head in a bun, wearing a white print Chinese-style quilted jacket and white pants. […] It goes without saying that Ravi was magnificent, but I daresay that George gave us quite a magnificent performance himself! We all know how he loves the music; he was really getting into it all through the show – quite loudly! He was so cute! He’d be quietly listening to Ravi and just bobbing his head and all, then you’d hear a light tapping on the table, getting progressively louder until he was hitting the table with his hands so loudly the people in the audience started turning around to find out where all the racket was coming from! George would stop, realize that he was making all the noise, so it would be very silent again.” - fan Cindy, Harrison Alliance fanzine (March/April 1976)
