When youre thirty-five, you cant take as much booze … and I always got a little violent on drink…So it was kind of self-destructive suicide side of me, which is resolving itself for the better, I believe, because I never enjoyed it… – John Lennon
Youre just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. Youve got to get down to your own God in your own temple. Its all down to you, mate. – John Lennon
Im not claiming divinity. Ive never claimed purity of soul. Ive never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can… But I still believe in peace, love and understanding. – John Lennon
The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society thats making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it? – John Lennon
