| − | {{Cquote|I liked music since I can remember. I can remember ''One Meat Ball'', very early, ''Hong Kong Blues'', that's one of the first songs I can remember (I must have been about four) a real bluesy song. Those were happy times. I went out with my parents from when I was a baby and we went out a lot. I remember being at one place or another, dancing at the club or at old Mrs. Such and Such. I remember as a baby standing on a little leather stool, singing "One Meat Ball."|George Harrison, ''I Me Mine'', p.28|1980}}

| − | {{Cquote|It took from four o'clock to five to get home in the evening to the outskirts of the Speke estate and it was on that bus journey that I met Paul McCartney, because he, being in the same school, had the same uniform and was going the same way as I was so I started hanging out with him. His mother was a midwife and he had a trumpet.|George Harrison, ''I Me Mine'', p.28|1980}}
