Interviewer: You mean you're brave enough to venture out in the streets without a bodyguard?
George: We're always on the street, staggering about.
Ringo: Flogging our bodies.
George: You catch John sleeping in the gutter occasionally.
Paul: He [Paul’s father] occasionally had trouble paying the bills, but it was never, you know, never 'Go out and pick blackberries, son; we're a bit short this week.'
Interviewer: How about you, John?
John: Oh, just the same. I used to have an auntie. And I had a dad whom I couldn't quite find.
Ringo: Do you [call ice lollies ‘popsicles’]? Why? ‘Cuz they’re made of ice.
Interviewer: I really don’t know why we call them popsicles.
John: I mean, they’re not made out of popsics, are they?
(On-set interview during filming of Help!, 1965)
Paul: Well, you know, a lot of Americans are unbalanced. I don't care what you say. No, really...Some of them are just mad! And I've met some really maniac American girls! Like this one girl who walked up to me in a press conference and said, 'I'm Lily.' I said, 'Hello, how do you do?' and she said, 'Doesn't my name mean anything to you?' I said, 'Ah, no...' and I thought, 'Oh god, it's one of these people that you've met and you should know.' And so Derek, our press agent, who happened to be there at the time... said, 'Well, how did you get in touch with Paul? How do you know him?' And she said, 'Through God.' Well, there was sort of a ghastly silence. I mean, we both sort of gulped and blushed. I said, 'Well, that's very nice, Lily. Thanks very much. I must be off now.'... You would hardly ever meet somebody like that in England, but there seemed to be a lot like her in America.
Interviewer: Now before we go any further, I'm just going to quote from Brian Epstein's book - John: (interrupting) Why don't you quote from mine? It's cheaper.
“My musical direction... I'm trying for music that isn't too romantic, yet contains a romantic thing. I personally don't like things to be too cute, except babies.”
- Paul McCartney, 1971.
George: It's easier to have an old children. Interviewer: To have a what, George? George: An old children. An old child. Children. Paul: I don't get that. Could you please explain it? John: It must be deep. Interviewer: It's a deep remark. George: It's not deep.
(The Beatles discussing Ringo’s impending fatherhood on the Eamonn Andrews Show, 1965)
”People said, 'It's a pity that such a nice thing had to come to such a sticky end.' I think that too. It is a pity. I like fairy tales. I'd love it to have had the Beatles go up in a little cloud of smoke and the four of us just find ourselves in magic robes, each holding an envelope with our stuff in it. But you realise that you're in real life, and you don't split up a beautiful thing with a beautiful thing.” - Paul McCartney, 1971.
I love love love love LOVE your blog!! It just makes u feel closer to the band even though its been so long but that just proves how great their music is that its still appreciated by ppl of all ages to this day!! Please keep doing this blog! It makes me smile reading their thoughts and views!! The Beatles were, are, Legendary!!
This is so lovely! Thank you so much for sending this. I’ve definitely being neglecting this blog, but you’ve inspired me to start it up again later tonight!
Interviewer: Is it [the name 'The Beatles'] supposed to mean the crawly-crawly...
John: Well, you ought to see us at night.
Interviewer: George, they tell me that you arrived in London the other day and only two people turned up.
John: THREE!
John: We loved him, and he was one of us. George: You can't pay tribute in words.
On the death of Brian Epstein, August 1967
Paul: (bad American accent) And we'll be back in the US of A around the time our film comes out in August, folks.
Ringo: That didn't sound a bit American.
Paul: Well, nobody'll ever know that when they read it in the book, will they?
Ringo: Go on, then. Talk about the film in an American accent.
Paul: Okay. It'll be finished by the middle of May and it will be made in colour.
Ringo: There you are. I told you they'd be able to tell.
Paul: How do you mean?
Ringo: I distinctly heard you say c-o-l-o-u-r instead of c-o-l-o-r.
Paul and Ringo interviewing each other for The Beatles Book Monthly, March 1965.
Interviewer: Murray The K was giving 'where they are', 'how many more miles left'. And literally in New York, the city stood still.
Ringo: On the airplane, I felt New York. It was like an octopus grabbing the plane, you know? It was like, I mean, I was just sitting on this plane. I could feel like tentacles coming up to the plane; it was so exciting. And the first time in New York... It was exciting! I mean, we'd pulled big crowds and we'd had big airport receptions, but of course America is bigger than anywhere else in Europe, so therefore the crowds are bigger. So we got off the plane, and we were used to ten, twelve thousand people, you know. It must have been four billion people out there, I mean, it was just crazy! It was fantastic!
Inner View, 29 August 1977
Paul: There's a power in John's voice there that certainly hasn't been equalled since. And I know exactly why-- It's because he worked his bollocks off that day. We left 'Twist And Shout' until the very last thing because we knew there was one take.
John: The more interesting songs to me were the black ones because they were more simple. They sort of said 'shake your arse', or your prick, which was an innovation really. The blacks were singing directly and immediately about their pain, and also about sex, which is why I like it.
Interviewer: Well, now that you're back, you're out of the Top Ten for the first time for a long time. John: (gasps dramatically)
