Pete Best

“I was told they wanted a better drummer, I was anti-social, I wasn't a Beatle. It was a load of rubbish.”

“Of course, I was bitter. It was a complete injustice.”

“It was a conspiracy of cowards.”

“People have said I'm the fifth Beatle. I'm the 'what if' Beatle.”

“I'm the unluckiest man in the world, and I'm the luckiest man in the world. I'm lucky and I'm unlucky.”

“Had I been a better drummer than Ringo, I would have been a Beatle. But I wasn't.”

“They could have done it in a more decent way. But that's history, that's life.”

“I have no regrets about the past. I'm very happy with my life now.”

“I hold no grudges. I'm very happy in my own skin.”

“Everyone thinks I'm a billionaire. I'm not. I'm a millionaire. I got a couple of million from the 'Anthology' album.”
