The only reason I am a star is because of my repression. Nothing else would have driven me through all that if I was 'normal'.

More quotes by John Lennon
Work is life, you know, and without it, there's nothing but fear and insecurity.
John Lennon
I'm not saying we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person, or God as a thing, or whatever it is. I just said what I said, and it was wrong, or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.
John Lennon
if everyone could just be happy with themselves and the choices people around them make, the world would instantly be a better place!
John Lennon
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.
John Lennon
Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.
John Lennon
Love is like a flower - you have to let it grow.
John Lennon
As I play the game of life, I try to make it better each and every day. And when I struggle in the night, The magic of the music seems to light the way.
John Lennon
When somebody is angry with us, we draw a halo around his or her head, in our minds. Does the person stop being angry then? Well, we don't know! We know, though, that when we draw a halo around a person, suddenly the person starts to look like an angel to us.
John Lennon
If you want to get peace, you can get it as soon as you like if we all pull together. ... Think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like.
John Lennon
That's part of our policy, is not to be taken seriously because I think our opposition, whoever they may be in all their manifest forms, don't know how to handle humour.
John Lennon
Lack of feeling in an emotional sense is responsible for the way some singers do our songs. They don't understand and are too old to grasp the feeling. Beatles are really the only people who can play Beatle music.
John Lennon
I want to be with my best friend. My best friend, my wife. Who could ask for anything more?
John Lennon
All this bit about angels and all the different religions, it's based on something. I think anything's possible. I believe in everything until it's disproved.
John Lennon
There is not one thing that's Beatle music. How can they talk about it like that? What is Beatle music? Walrus or Penny Lane? Which? It's too diverse: I Want to Hold Your Hand or Revolution Number Nine?
John Lennon
Why in the world are we here? Surely not to live in pain and fear. Why on earth are you there, when you're everywhere - come and get your share.
John Lennon
I believe Jesus was right, Buddha was right, and all of those people like that are right. They're all saying the same thing - and I believe it. I believe what Jesus actually said - the basic things he laid down about love and goodness - and not what people say he said.
John Lennon
Rituals are important.
John Lennon
Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.
John Lennon
So long ago, was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
John Lennon
We're all God. I'm not a god or the God, but we're all God and we're all potentially divine - and potentially evil.
John Lennon
