George Harrison's widow, Olivia, recalls "the quiet Beatle", who often had a lot to say.

In one of his last songs, "Pieces Fish", George wrote: "I'm a living proof of all life's contradictions." Was he?
He was really like that. He was funny, loving, and fun. [But] he could also be really up or really down, really spiritual or really naughty. You just never knew. But all of it was within the same circle. He didn't want to be perceived as being one thing either.

For a so-called quiet guy, George had his chatty moments.
He would have an interview scheduled, and on the way there, he would be grumbling. And then, two hours later, we'd be still waiting for him to finish. He'd think, "This is going to be terrible," and then you couldn't stop him from talking because he'd be enthused.

What would George most want to be remembered for?
Many people have gone on the spiritual path because of George, whether it's yoga or meditation or whatever. The most important thing you can do for anyone is to give them a spiritual spark. If there is anything he would want to be remembered for, it is just that.
