Peter Asher

“I did realize that my life was now going to be very different. Because I was now the guy who knew Paul McCartney's phone number.”

“The key is always the singer and the song, and if you get that right, you’re not gonna go too far wrong.”

“My main job, my main responsibility as a producer, is to make the artist happy and confident with what they’re doing.”

“You listen to a song, and you imagine what it could be. And that's really what being a producer is.”

“It was a great way to have a second career, and I was just lucky that it was a good one.”

“The first thing that strikes you is that you’re hearing something that’s coming from someplace that you’ve never heard it come from before.”
