“You see I went through a big part of my life without realising that I had any faults… Then about two years ago I said to myself ‘Come on, Paul, you’re not that great’.” - Paul McCartney 1968
“There’s nothing conceptually better than rock ‘n’ roll. No group, be it Beatles, Dylan, or Stones, has ever improved on “Whole Lotta Shakin’ for my money. Maybe I’m like our parents, that’s my period. That’s my period and I’ll never leave it.“ - John Lennon
“I don’t mean to sound mysterious or try to baffle anyone, but when people come up to me expecting me to be just like what they thought a Beatle would be, they’re disappointed. I never was a Beatle, except musically. I don’t think any of us was. What is a Beatle anyway?“ - George Harrison
“John’s dreams were always dreams, they never became reality. He always envisioned things more beautiful, greater, more extraordinary than anything he could possibly realize.” - George Martin
“Do you know that George wanted to redo his guitar solos on ‘Gimme Some Truth’ and ‘How Do You Sleep?’ That’s the best he’s ever fucking played in his life! He’d never get that feeling again. He’d go on forever if you let him.” -John Lennon
