Somebody said to me, 'But the Beatles were anti-materialistic.' That's a huge myth. John and I literally used to sit down and say, 'Now, let's write a swimming pool.' ↗

John's time and effort were, in the main, spent on pretty honorable stuff. As for the other side, well, nobody's perfect, nobody's Jesus. And look what they did to him. ↗

Johnny once described our relationship by saying we were as close as two people could be without being married. ↗

I would never say John Kerry would be a great president. I will say that George Bush has divided us; he has filled this country with hatred. ↗
