Quote

I've got used to the fact - just about - that whatever I do is going to be compared to the other Beatles. If I took up ballet dancing, my ballet dancing would be compared with Paul (McCartney)'s bowling.

One more stage, one more limo, one more run for your life.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done, Nothing you can sing that can't be sung, Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game, It's easy... All you need is love.
John Lennon

Well, I just want him to grow up happy. That's the main thing.
John Lennon

The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?

There are a lot of people walking around with long hair now and some trendy middle class kids in pretty clothes. But nothing changed except that we all dressed up a bit, leaving the same bastards running everything.

My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
John Lennon

Before Elvis there was nothing.
John Lennon
Image
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.
John Lennon

I don't want to be king, I want to be real.
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
Image
You can't give a child too much love and if you love somebody, you can't be with them enough. There's no such thing.
John Lennon
Image
People asking questions, lost in confusion, well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions.
John Lennon
Image
I don't bother so much about the others' songs. For instance, I don't give a damn about how 'Something' is doing in the charts - I watch 'Come Together' (the flip side) because that's my song.
John Lennon

The Beatles were just a band that made it very, very big, that's all.
John Lennon

Nothing affected me until I heard Elvis. Without Elvis there would be no Beatles.
