“I like to put some words in songs that, if anybody out there is listening, you know, that they can… can give them a bit of hope, too. You know, it’s like also saying, ‘Don’t worry, it’s only a bit of time, and if you keep on trucking, you know, it’ll be okay.’” - George Harrison, In The Studio With Redbeard (1987) About the photo session… “I’ve told this story before. Meeting and shooting George at Warner Brothers Records. How we talked about Hard Days Night and how spent an amazing amount of time hanging out with my favorite Beatle. Blah blah blah. [...] During a break in production [of the "Got My Mind Set On You" video shoot] I showed George the cover of Musician Magazine that I had shot of him at the first shoot. I got an early preview copy from the Art Director. George told me he liked it and signed it for me. (one of the only 3 times I ever asked for an autograph) I was there with the director and a producer. Eventually they got up and had to get to work. George and I stayed there and just kept on talking for another 15-20 minutes. It was surreal cuz there I was sitting with George Harrison alone. To this day it's probably one of my favorite moments ever. I can’t tell you how nice he was to me. The nicest!!!!” - Chris Cuffaro, cuffarophoto.com (November 17, 2016)
