If his wires hadn't been star-crossed, George Harrison may have become a sub-par electrician instead of a great musician. In tribute to the “quiet” Beatle, we share the following quotes from a 1966 interview.

Q: What careers would you individually have chosen had you not become entertainers?

John: No comment.
