If I had the capabilities of being something other than I am, I would. It's no fun being an artist. You know what it's like, writing, it's torture.

More quotes by 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
Imagine ... Imagine no religion.
John Lennon
I've never really been wanted.
John Lennon
It's weird not to be weird.
John Lennon
Strawberry Fields is anywhere you want to go
John Lennon
Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
John Lennon
You're jeans are full of crap. You're full of beans, you're in you teens. You've lost your mama's road map.
John Lennon
I realized that kids everywhere go for the same stuff and seeing as we'd done it in England, there's no reason why we couldn't do it in America too.
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
The Beatles were just a band that made it very, very big, that's all.
John Lennon
The whole thing died in my mind long before the rumpus started. We used to believe the Beatles myth just as much as the public and we were in love with them just the same way. But we were four individuals who eventually recovered our individualities after being submerged in a myth.
John Lennon
The second political thing I did was to say 'The Beatles are bigger than Jesus.' That really broke the scene, I nearly got shot in America for that. It was a big trauma for all the kids that were following us.
John Lennon
If you want peace, you won't get it with violence.
John Lennon
We gave up everything just to sit at your table.
John Lennon
If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.
John Lennon
We went to America a few times and [Brian] Epstein always tried to waffle on at us about saying nothing about Vietnam. So there came a time when George [Harrison] and I said 'Listen, when they ask next time, we're going to say we don't like that war and we think they should get right out.' That's what we did.
John Lennon
I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.
John Lennon
Only by trying on other people's clothes do we find what size we are.
John Lennon
I really had a chip on my shoulder, ... and it still comes out every now and then.
John Lennon
We're crazy about this city. Los Angeles? That's just a big parking lot where you buy a hamburger for the trip to San Francisco.
John Lennon
