" I'm always taking a little of this and a little of that. It's called being influenced. It's either called that or stealing. And what do they say? A good artist borrows; a great artist steals-or something like that. [...] We took a lot of stuff, but in blues, anyway, you do: People lift licks. It's part of the fun of being alive, too. You hear somebody's incredible riff and you go "Oooh." You hear a new chord somewhere and you go, "Oh, my God, that's it!" Yeah, we lifted a lot of stuff from Motown, but quite unashamedly. I'm happy to have done it." -- Paul McCartney, Guitar Player Magazine, 1990.
