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.)

What influence did the beatles have on bob Dylan?

The Beatles had a significant influence on Bob Dylan, particularly in the mid-1960s when they began to experiment with more sophisticated themes and sounds. Dylan admired their ability to reach a wide audience while addressing complex subjects, which inspired him to expand his own lyrical depth and musical style. Their collaboration, notably on songs like "Rain" and "Tomorrow Never Knows," encouraged Dylan to incorporate more electric instrumentation and innovative songwriting techniques. This mutual influence helped shape the trajectory of popular music during that era.

One example of how close they were was in, Bob Dylan's song tangled up in blue.

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.
