“I’m really trying to draw everyone into the feeling of what it must have been like for him to start off at 27, renovating a house that took him the rest of his life, and at the same time, his band had broken up, he had Hare Krishnas living here, he was separating from his wife, his mother passed away during the making the record [All Things Must Pass] — it was a lot of really spiritual moments for my dad with this record. […]
[Peter Jackson] basically made a reel for me with all of my dad’s footage and I could see if there was anything I didn’t want in, anything I thought was bad or not tasteful, and it was all just beautiful. He was very complimentary about my dad’s behavior in all of the reels.
I got to see the moment when [George] played them ‘All Things Must Pass’ and they were kind of like, ‘meh.’ They’re playing along with it, but it’s a swing and a miss. It’s funny, I’m really glad that at some point people will be able to see that moment having heard the way that All Things Must Pass turned out. Even if you look at the diary entry we put in the book, it’s like, ‘Got up, left the Beatles, went and had lunch’ — it’s so nonchalant, but you know that he was kind of secretly brewing this ridiculous triple vinyl record in his head and he wasn’t going to let anything get in his way. Just like, ‘Okay, I’ve got to leave the Beatles now, because I’m not going to be able to do what I need to do.’” - Dhani Harrison, Esquire (August 2021)
“You didn’t go home and sit in your garden and cry?
‘No, I went home and wrote “Wah Wah.” But then we got together to finish “Let It Be,” which was a film and an album of us rehearsing. Then somehow we did “Abbey Road” later, although it came out first. At least it was a nice album to exit on.’” - NME (1976)
