Quote

I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can. But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.

I get by with a little help from my friends.
John Lennon

You're born in pain and pain is what we're in most of the time. And I think that the bigger the pain, the more gods we need.

John Lennon

I don't know if I want to record together again. I go off and on it... In the old days, when we needed an album, Paul and I got together and produced enough songs for it. Nowadays, there's three of us writing prolifically and trying to fit it all into one album.
John Lennon

The dream is over. I gotta get down to reality. The good old days is garbage.

Am I crazy or am I a genius? I don't think I'm either.

The idea of being a rock and roll musician sort of suited my talents and mentality. The freedom was great, but then I found out I wasn't free. I'd got boxed in...The whole Beatle thing is just beyond comprehension ... subconsciously I was crying for help.
