It's tough; John Lennon is a huge icon now ... everybody has their own expectation of how to present the story of John Lennon.

Edgar asked me, 'Do you know anything about John Lennon,' ... I said, 'I know everything about John Lennon.' And he told me, 'If you can come up with a concept, you can come to the meeting.' So I had three days to think of something, and my starting point was, what would I, as a die-hard John Lennon fan, want to see?

People hated him for leaving the Beatles or for falling in love with Yoko ... they wanted him to be a Beatle and he fought that all his life.

He was hurt when people didn't either embrace Yoko or his love for Yoko, but finally he didn't care.

If, from time to time, you give up expectation, you will be able to perceive what it is you are getting.
