...When someone dies when you are young, you are naturally selfish, you over-cover it, you want to get over it quickly, get out and live. Talking about (Stuart) intensively has helped me. I felt relieved, after all these years. I had a big conscience for not mourning enough at the time."

At the time (my marriage ended in 1985), yes (I regretted I had no children). I just couldn't see have any. but now I am pleased when I see the situation the world is in. I live alone and am very happy.

Stu could be a jealous little man, but he would have given me my individuality, to think and be myself. We might have ended up like John and Yoko, though I'm completely different from her. I need pushing. Who knows what might have happened? We all guess about life, whether about people still living or those dead.

I'm not a businesswoman, I'm not organized. I've never been commercial. I never looked after my negatives, and you need that to prove you took the photos. There have been 200 books on the Beatles...and almost all have used my photographs. It wasn't just with the Beatles. If other friends wanted, say a passport photo, I'd shoot one off and give it to them, often with the negative.

They were actually pills to make slimming easier for you. We used to take them with a couple of beers. They made you just a little speedy. But you can't compare it to speed from today or cocaine or anything. It's just baby food compared to that.

"I don't know where (letters sent by the Beatles to me) are. I have only a couple from George, which I'll never show anyone, but he wrote so many. So did the others. I probably threw them away. You do that when you're young-you don't think of the future.
