Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war -for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I'd say we deserve ours more.

More quotes by John Lennon
I dream in colour, and its always very surreal. My dream world is complete Hieronymus Bosch and Dali. I love it, I look forward to it every night
John Lennon
From this moment on I know exactly where my life will go: seems that all I really was doing was waiting for love.
John Lennon
I never went to high school reunions. My thing is, out of sight, out of mind. That's my attitude toward life. So I don't have any romanticism about any part of my past.
John Lennon
A more interesting question is not 'Why did they break up?' but 'Would they have gotten back together?' ... There's always a chance we'd work together again, but I can't see us touring. I just see us making records.
John Lennon
I didn't really know that much about the Maoists, but I just knew that they seemed to be so few and yet they painted themselves green and stood in front of the police waiting to get picked off.
John Lennon
I'm a freakin' artist, man, not a (expletive) race horse.
John Lennon
I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything.
John Lennon
The dream is over. I gotta get down to reality. The good old days is garbage.
John Lennon
As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
John Lennon
I'm cynical about society, politics, newspapers, government. But I'm not cynical about life, love, goodness, death. That's why I really don't want to be labeled a cynic.
John Lennon
Am I crazy or am I a genius? I don't think I'm either.
John Lennon
We want to go forward, but which way are we facing?
John Lennon
I want you to make love, not war, I know you've heard it before.
John Lennon
I want to be with my best friend. My best friend, my wife. Who could ask for anything more?
John Lennon
Now The Beatles are four separate people, we don't have the impact we had when we were together.
John Lennon
I was stuck in the feeling that one did not--was not justified in being alive unless one was fulfilling other people's dreams, whether they were contractual dreams or the public's dreams, or fulfilling my own dreams and illusions about what I thought I was supposed to be, which, in retrospect, turned out to not be what I am.
John Lennon
Strawberry fields forever
John Lennon
Listen, if anything happens to Yoko and me, it was not an accident.
John Lennon
I remember a time when everybody I loved hated me because I hated them.
John Lennon
He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.
John Lennon
