John Lennon was definitely my favorite Beatle, hands down.

I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn't want to be a frontman. I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.

I used to think it was mere homesickness, then I started getting it at home.

John Lennon was everything his friends wanted to be, and said everything they wanted to say but wouldn't dare. John Lennon always dared.

At that moment when John Lennon settled his voice on the back of a dove and released it to the world, could he have possibly imagined that all these years later, I would be here in my office imagining us imagining him?

A Muzak version of 'Imagine' comes on and John Lennon wakes up in his tomb, appalled.
