in [Lennon] he recognised a partner whose name might one day be paired with his as Gilbert was paired with Sullivan, and Rodgers with Hammerstein. He acknowledges that the interplay of Lennon and McCartney was 'nothing short of miraculous', describing how they 'wrote with two guitars'. 'The joy of that was that I was left-handed and he was right-handed, so I was looking in a mirror and he was looking in a mirror.'

I've never really thought much about my voice. I've been lucky enough not to have to. People say to me, "Do you use your head voice or your chest voice?" I say, 'I'm afraid I don't know the difference. I haven't analysed it'.

the idea that we were rivals was just something started by the media, and then people started to ask, 'Who do you like, The Beatles or the Stones?' And it became an either/or thing. (.)And it just wasn't true.(.) we were big buddies, forever and ever, but the fans started to believe there was some truth in the manufactured rivalry. There never was.

I've written a lot of songs, but certain ones stand out, and if I had to choose what I thought was my best work over the years, I would probably include 'I Saw Her Standing There'. No, I would definitely include this one.
I first played this song to John when he and I got together to smoke tea in my dad's pipe. (And when I say tea, I mean tea.)

I'm attracted to the binary. I state that quite casually, but I think there's actually a lot more to it than my just saying, "I'm attracted to the binary." Once you get down to the scientific biological level, in my core, I probably am the binary. All of us are probably more binary than we might realise.

I've had some pretty wild massages, and(.) I mean funny wild, not sexual. There was one in Japan where the girl came in and said, 'Please lie on floor,' so I lay on the floor, and she was giving me a massage. I started relaxing, but then suddenly she started to sing, "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.' I'm going,' Oh shit, where do I put myself now.' Thank God she didn't know the middle eight.

We recorded a whole bunch of stuff at Lympne Castle. Why? I don't know. I suspect because it was nearish to where we lived, on the way to Folkestone on the south coast. (...)so you'd get these kinds of slightly oddball things happening and oddball songs coming out. I'm a bit more purposeful these days than I was then. I was probably smoking a little too much wacky baccy at the time.

OKAY, I ADMIT IT I HAVE A THING FOR OLDER LADIES.
Eleanor Rigby, bless her soul, was not the only one. I just happen to get on well with them and I always have. I find them interesting, so often for what they can teach us, and they're usually quite happy to share their stories with you.

I often muse upon what might have happened, had I not ended up in a band that rather took over my life. I wonder about the path I thought I was on with my A level in English literature and where that might have led me.

We thought of ourselves as Lennon and McCartney from very early on. It was because we'd heard of Gilbert and Sullivan, Rodgers and Hammerstein. Lennon and McCartney? That's good. There are two of us, and we can fall into that pattern. We put our names next to each other in our school exercise books.

We sing 'She's a big teaser' but what we mean is 'She's a prick teaser'. Our friends would know that was what we meant. The BBC might not. In the UK, the BBC was known as 'Auntie' (...)So, the prudish BBC would hear 'big teaser', and we'd get away with it.

Afinal, não há 5 sem 6. (perdi-me nas contas). 😂
Estou a começar a levar estas leituras a sério, Fátima. Ai se chego a "não há 48 sem 49", ou coisa que o valha!Mas vale a pena: pela primeira vez na vida li a palavra cortejar num livro. Isto é adorável. É como ouvir os avós a contar histórias da juventude! :D
