My name's not John Beatle, it's John Lennon.

We're not Beatles to each other, you know. It's a joke to us. If we're going out the door of the hotel, we say, 'Right! Beatle John! Beatle George now! Come on, let's go!' We don't put on a false front or anything.

You have to be a bastard to make it, and that's a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.

We were four guys... I met Paul, and said, 'You want to join me band?' Then George joined and then Ringo joined. We were just a band that made it very, very, big, that's all. Our best work was never recorded.

At 13 years old, you know you're a big star. OK, fine, but I want to go and watch Huckleberry Hound.

If you get to be a really big headliner, you have to be prepared for people throwing bottles at you in the night.
