Interviewer: What kinda girl do you prefer?
John: My wife.
Interviewer: What kinda girl is she?
John: She's a nice girl.
...
Interviewer (to George): What kinda girl do you like?
George: Uh, John's wife.
John: (smacks) Nobody likes a smart guy!

>Репортёр: Почему вы одеваете сразу четыре кольца?
>Ринго: Шесть было бы уже слишком.
>***
Знаю другую версию ответа Ринго:"Потому что не могу все их вставить в нос".

Когда Брайан Эпштейн пришёл уговаривать битлов стать их менеджером, он сказал:"Я сделаю ВАС знаменитыми", на что Джон ответил:"Нет, это мы сделаем ВАС известным".

Отвечая на вопросы прессы о возможной реакции королевы Елизаветы Второй на возврат Ленноном медали MBE, Джон сказал:" " У королевы есть более важные дела, чтобы беспокоиться, я не думаю, что испортил ей завтрак."

We reckoned we could make it because there were four of us. None of us would’ve made it alone, because Paul wasn’t quite strong enough, I didn’t have enough girl-appeal, George was too quiet, and Ringo was the drummer. But we thought that everyone would be able to dig at least one of us, and that’s how it turned out.

As usual, there’s a great woman behind every idiot."
— John Lennon

When The Beatles were depressed, thinking, the group is going nowhere, and this is a shitty deal, and we’re in a shitty dressing room…I’d say, ‘Where are we going, fellas?’ They’d go, ‘To the top, Johnny!’ And I’d say, ‘Where’s that, fellas?’ and they’d say, ‘To the toppermost of the poppermost!’ and I’d say, ‘Right!’ Then we’d all cheer up."
— John Lennon

А как переводится toppermost of the poppermost?

I’ve never called him Sir, and there will be a cold day in hell when I do."
— Ringo Starr on Paul McCartney

Everyone wants to make a comparison with my old man, and I’m not saying that I’m not influenced by him, because I was around him every day and he was my best friend, but the music we’re doing is so different. Anyway, how can anyone do anything that the Beatles haven’t already done? Between my dad, John, Paul and Ringo, there was pretty much no musical stone they left unturned. I remember saying to my dad: “The backwards solo guitar on that Hendrix thing is just the stickest thing I ever heard.” Dad just replied, without looking up from his tea: “I did the first backwards guitar solo on ‘I’m Only Sleeping’.”

Хорошо! Откуда взято?

в фотоблогах - там помимо фоток народ часто цитаты выкладывает

"Скажите,пару слов, находясь перед лицом миллионов американских зрителей"-журналист Джону."Какое у них странное лицо", — отвечает Джон.
Удивительно, что ещё никто не упоминал.

здорово!
а если не секрет с какого это интревью, что-то просто ни разу о нем не слышала

I’m a musician and I don’t know why. Many people feel that life is pre-destined. I think it is vaguely, but it’s still up to the person which way your life is going to go. All I’ve ever done is keep being me, and it’s all worked out… like magic. I never planned anything, so it’s obvious that that’s what I am destined to be. I’m a musician. It’s my gig.
George Harrison

Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.— John Lennon

I never realized exactly what fans were like until we left the Liverpool scene. We never thought of the girls of The Cavern as fans. They were friends we’d met and chatted up in the clubs. In those days, to be a Beatle fan meant to join the four of us in the Coke bar between sessions and to talk about guitars and new numbers and the possibility of having success with our first record… In Liverpool, there wasn’t any need to ask for autographs because we were all on first-name terms with most of the girls who followed us around from club to club.
— John Lennon (Beatle Book Monthly, May 1964)

Press: Would you ever accept a girl in your group if she could sing, play an instrument, and wear the Beatle haircut?
Ringo: How tall is she?
