John Lennon

I don’t intend to be a performing flea any more. I was the dreamweaver, but although I’ll be around I don’t intend to be running at 20,000 miles an hour trying to prove myself. I don’t want to die at 40.

I don’t know how much money I’ve got. I did ask the accountant how much it came to. I wrote it down on a bit of paper. But I’ve lost the bit of paper.

I don’t know if I want to record together again. I go off and on it… In the old days, when we needed an album, Paul and I got together and produced enough songs for it. Nowadays, there’s three of us writing prolifically and trying to fit it all into one album.

I don’t mind looking to the camera -​ it’s people that throw me.

I don’t miss it. I’m glad it happened, but I don’t miss it.

I don’t purchase records. I do enjoy listening to things like Japanese folk music or Indian music.

John Lennon

I don’t want to grow up but I’m sick of not growing up -​ that way. I’ll find a different way of not growing up. There’s a better way of doing it than torturing your body.

John Lennon

I dream in colour, and its always very surreal. My dream world is complete Hieronymus Bosch and Dali. I love it, I look forward to it every night

John Lennon

I enjoyed it when football crowds in the early days would sing ‘All together now’ – that was another one. I was also pleased when the movement in America took up ‘Give peace a chance’ because I had written it with that in mind really.

John Lennon

I felt an obligation even then to write a song that people would sing in the pub or on a demonstration. That is why I would like to compose songs for the revolution.
