One has to completely humiliate oneself to be what the beatles were . . . . it happened bit by bit, until . . . you're doing exactly what you don't want to do with people you can't stand -- the people you hated when you were ten.

More From John Lennon

It just annoyed me that people got so into the beatles. "beatles, beatles, beatles." it's not that i don't like talking about them. i've never stopped talking about them. it's "beatles this, beatles that, beatles, beatles, beatles, beatles." then in the end, it's like "oh, sod off with the beatles," you know?

So to compare the beatles, obviously the beatles are the beatles, but in hip-hop terms, tribe is the beatles. grandmaster flash and the furious five are the beatles. big daddy kane is jimi hendrix. it means that much to people that grew up with it.

You humiliate a rich person and they're still rich. you humiliate a brilliant person and they're still smart. a person who is well connected is still the king of england. but if you humiliate a young person, you take away the only form of power they have.

I hated sports. i hated sports, and i hated people who played them, and i hated people who watched them, and i hated people who didn't hate people who watched or played them.

I am not the beatles. i'm me. paul isn't the beatles...the beatles are the beatles. separately, they are separate.

I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. i hated the sunsets of whatever colour, i hated its beauty and its magic and the secret i would never know. i hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness. above all i hated her. for she belonged to the magic and the loveliness. she had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what i had lost before i found it.
