"It ( In My Life ) was..." - Quote by John Lennon

“Paul (McCartney) and I made a deal when we were 15. There was never a legal deal between us, just a deal we made when we decided to write together that we put both our names on it, no matter what.”

“Love is the Answer. What was the Question?”

“So long ago, was it in a dream, was it just a dream?”

“If I was just a fan of music, I would think that I was the number one artist in the world.”

“Music... is the shaping of the invisible.”

“I've got my Grammys on top of my piano and I look at them when I play.”

“Most of the time, the songs have jokes in them, little sarcastic things, or purposely kitsch or something. So that's going along with a story, like I do in life, just talking to myself and making fun of stuff and laughing at stuff that's serious. And sometimes it's a good idea to put the laughing into the songs. Sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's all right just to be serious. But most of the songs have some kind of joke in them.”

“My experience with songwriting is usually so confessional, it's so drawn from my own life and my own stories.”

“The writing of the Beatles, or John and Paul's contribution to the Beatles in the late sixties - had a kind of depth to it, a more mature, more intellectual approach. We were different people, we were older. We knew each other in all kinds of different ways than when we wrote together as teenagers and in our older twenties.”
