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'.

More quotes by John Lennon
In my case I've never not been political, though religion tended to overshadow it in my acid days.
John Lennon
Millions of mind guerrillas, raising the spirit of peace and love, not war.
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
Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John Lennon

John Lennon

John Lennon
Don't believe that jazz about there's nothing you can do, turn on and drop out, man - because you've got to turn on and drop in, or they're going to drop all over you.
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
Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.
John Lennon
People think the Beatles know what's going on. We don't. We're just doing it.
John Lennon
There are no problems, only solutions.
John Lennon
I'm an Elvis fan because it was Elvis who really got me out of Liverpool.
John Lennon
The only reason I went for that goal is that I wanted to say: 'Now, mummy-daddy, will you love me?'
John Lennon
Mother, you had me, but I never had you.
John Lennon
