Best Answer

Hearing "I Want To Hold Your Hand" on the radio convinced Dylan that it was time to "go electric", and leave pure Folk Music behind. (He also thought the line "my love I can't hide" was "my love, I get high", and was surprised to learn The Beatles didn't smoke pot, when they finally met. - Dylan soon changed that.)

Bob Dylan and the Beatles had a very close relationship with each other. They both had similar musical icons that they looked up too.

Did Bob Dylan ever say something like without the Beatles he would never have been famous?

No. Bob Dylan was a successful musician/poet at the same time that the Beatles were enjoying success. They met in New York, and Bob Dylan introduced them to marijuana. Bob Dylan and the Beatles inspired one another and exchanged creative ideas, but neither were the direct cause of the other's success. ----- It is said that Dylan was encouraged to "go electric", abandoning pure folk music, after he heard "I Want To Hold Your Hand". (He also mistook the song's line "I can't hide" as "I get high", and thought the Beatles already smoked.) His career in America took off about the same time the Beatles's did in England.
