"I love this idea that music, even when it's just an instrumental, can hit your emotions. Now, how does that work? It's just some frequencies, but it can make you cry. Something just reaches your soul. It's a deep, beautiful thing."
— Paul McCartney for MOJO Magazine, 2026.

"Whatever you think John Lennon would think today is probably not it. He was always changing his mind. He would probably surprise you because he always surprised everybody."
— Sean Ono Lennon for the book "Power To The People", 2025.
"But at the same time, John felt sympathetic to his fans, regardless of the extent of their obsessions and the lengths to which they were willing to go. On one occasion, a large number of fans were swarming the archway as John and his housekeeper Rosa returned from an errand. As they rode the elevator up to the seventh floor, John told her that 'those guys had been there for hours. Some even for days. And just to see me. Maybe it doesn't make sense; however, the least I could do is to avoid disappointing them when they get to see me.'"
— From the book "John Lennon: 1980," by Kenneth Womack.
Bervely Magid: "How did you manage to keep all your sanity with all activity over the years?" John Lennon: "Oh, I didn't. I gave it up at birth."
— John Lennon for the magazine Record Music, November 12, 1973.
"Mimi is right about John. He’s an extremely tender person – or rather he’s capable of tenderness. This tough, bitter side he has is a kind of protection. I feel sad for him because a lot of people seem to get satisfaction out of hurting him (...) One thing I really wish for him is happiness."
— Cynthia Lennon for Stuart While in 1977.
"I remember when John and Yoko were busted, that Paul made the great gesture of inviting them to stay at his house if they wanted. It was like Paul was saying, “Well, I know the world is against you, but I am still your mate,”" — David Puttnam.
