so all I had to say was, 'It's him, Dad. He got me watch.' We reported them to the police, and they went to court and got put away, silly guys. I had to go and give evidence against them. It was my first time in court.

We used to go down Dungeon Lane to the beach where the lighthouse was, on the Mersey shoreline. Two lads who were tougher than me robbed me of my watch there one time. I was ten. They lived in the next street - their garden backed onto ours - 1/2 #paulmccartney
At the beginning I was annoyed [with John], jealous because of Yoko, and afraid about the breakup of a great musical partnership. It took me a year to realize they were in love." [Paul]

"Paul can be very cynical and much more biting than me when he's driven to it. Of course, he's got more patience, but he can carve people up in no time at all, when he's pushed. He hits the nail on the head and doesn't beat about the bush, does Paul."

J: Who’d have the children?
P: Dick James

One of my favourite interactions for the quick wit of J & P
“I’m not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I’ve always been a freak. So I’ve been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I’m one of those people.”

‘I am the f&$@jng click’ would have to be up there as his best quotable line. That and ‘I’m warning you with peace and love’

Wow! #TheBeatles
Yes I agree. He poetly captures the difference between the private and public face
Paul: "Haven't you written anything else?"
John: "No.”
Paul: "We're gonna be faced with a crisis."
John: "When I'm up against the wall, Paul, you'll find I'm at my best."
Paul: "Yeah, I know, John, I know… But I wish you'd come up with the goods."

I haven’t got the patience to practise to become a “perfect” guitarist you know. I’m more interested in the combination of my voice and the guitar I know and to write songs than I am in the instrument. So I never go through a day hardly without playing it whether I’m performing or not you know.

I reading all the lyrics of Beatles’ songs and finding, or imagining, all kinds of hidden meanings. One phrase in particular staggered me: ‘keeping her face in a jar by the door,’ from ‘Eleanor Rigby’. This seemed to me pure surrealism.
Alan Aldridge, The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics

“I remember going into the studio with him and watching how he worked. It was like a quilt—he just wove things together. I’d sit back and go, ‘You couldn’t buy this. What an opportunity.’”

And I'd see them six months later and their hair would be going thin and they'd be getting fatter. They were becoming old men, while I was with the Beatles.
I just keep going.
2/3 ..I'm still a bit of an adolescent; I keep changing all the time. But I don't want to stop doing that.
All my old friends from Liverpool got jobs after they left school.
‘People have told me that the album's title indicates I like to struggle with things in my life. But I've never seen my life that way. The record's full of songs and words. That's all.
At least, that's all I was trying to do. I don't any feel different now than I ever have 1/2… #johnlennon #Beatles
“Mind Games was actually a book that somebody sent me, which I wrote an intro to: 'I have read three important and revolutionary books in the last three years: Yoko Ono's Grapefruit, Arthur Janov's Primal Scream, and now Mind Games” - John

“The Beatles exist apart from myself. I am not really Beatle George. Beatle George is like a suit or shirt that I once wore on occasion, and until the end of my life, people may see that shirt and mistake it for me.” George Harrison

Mick Fleetwood talks about the closeness of Lennon and McCartney, 1990.
"I'm very good at forgetting who I am, because as far as I'm concerned Paul McCartney is a name given at birth and at the beginning of The Beatles he split off into a celebrity and I remained as me."

“Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing.”
