It looks like I'm going to be 40 and life begins at 40 - so they promise. And I believe it, too.
John Lennon

I've never met anybody who's had a flashback in my life and I took millions of trips in the Sixties, and I've never met anybody who had any problem. I've had bad trips, but I've had bad trips in real life. I've had a bad trip on a joint. I can get paranoid just sitting in a restaurant I don't have to take anything.

If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.

It depends who they are. If it's Mick (Jagger) or the Old Guard as I call them, yeah, they're the Old Guard. Elton (John), David (Bowie) are the newies. I don't feel like an old uncle, dear, 'cause I'm not that much older than half of 'em, hehe.

To begin with, working class people reacted against our openness about sex. They are frightened of nudity, they're repressed in that way as well as others. Perhaps they thought 'Paul [McCartney] is a good lad, he doesn't make trouble'.

The whole Beatle thing was just beyond comprehension. When 'Help' came out, I was actually crying out for help. Most people think it's just a fast rock 'n roll song. I didn't realize it at the time I just wrote the song because I was commissioned to write it for the movie. But later, I knew I really was crying out for help.

Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today...

I don't believe in Beatles.
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.

I didn't leave the Beatles. The Beatles have left the Beatles, but no one wants to be the one to say the party's over.

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.

I've always been politically minded, you know, and against the status quo.
John Lennon

You are not your emotions,you have emotions,and you can master them.

Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine, can't do you know harm to feel your own pain.

I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything.

When I get older losing my hair many years from now. Will you still be sending me a Valentine. Birthday greetings, bottle of wine? If I'd been out till quarter to three would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When I'm sixty-four?
