John Lennon at the Playhouse Theatre, London, for the recording of Brian Matthew’s Easy Beat, 16 October 1963 (x)
John Lennon: "I try to do it all right, but I s'pose I'll just turn out the same, and I'll - but I'm gonna try not to, y'know. At least I'm thinking about it now."
Q: "But with that much experience behind you now, would you like to have more children?"
John Lennon: "Yeah, I'd just - as many as - as come, y'know, let 'em roll out, I say."
Q: "Yes."
John Lennon: "I like large families, the idea of it."
— John Lennon interviewed by Brian Matthew on November 30, 1965.
The Beatles and Brian Matthew on Thank Your Lucky Star (1964)
"The Beatles were very extrovert - my only regret there is that I didn't have more to do with George who I thought was a lovely guy, absolutely lovely. I went to America with them for a week at Epstein's invitation and they were all pretty good. I never knew where I was with Lennon! Who did? But Paul was always very forthcoming. And I had one long conversation with George in a dressing room in Chicago, and I thought this guy's got a lot more than he's allowed to say. I don't mean not allowed but... the kind of general attitude was John and Paul did all the chat, and Ringo would make the odd comment from the background - he was always all right. But George. I've just seen the documentary his wife made, and I've been practically in tears thinking 'what an opportunity I missed there'. Only because he was obviously somebody that you really ought to know. Extremely talented too. Well, they all were!"
