And there were a few massage stories that I used to tell in concert, because I’ve had some pretty wild massages, and when I say ‘wild’ I mean funny wild, not sexual. There was one in Japan where the girl came in and said, ‘Please lie on floor,’ so I lay on the floor, and she was giving me a massage. I started relaxing, but then suddenly she started to sing, ‘Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.’ I’m going, ‘Oh shit, where do I put myself now. Can’t I escape this anywhere?’ Thank God she didn’t know the middle eight.

John: Thank you for playing Paul's tune to me, it's very nice of you, wonderful, thank you. I always get it. I sat in a restaurant in Spain and the violinist insisted on playing Yesterday right in my ear. Then he ask me to sign the violin and I was… I didn't know what to say. I say, well actually, I say okay and signed it and Yoko signed it… One day he's going to find out that Paul wrote it. Dick Cavett: That's better then if he'd played Wedding Bells Are Breaking Up The Old Gang Of Mine…

(Dick Cavett Show Interviews 11 Sep 1971)

George (and Ringo) June 9th, 1970, during All Things Must Pass sessions:

‘Wedding Bells’ is what it was. ‘Wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine.’ We used to sing that song, Gene Vincent did it. It was like an army song and for us the Beatles became the army. We always knew that one day ‘Wedding Bells’ would come true, and that was when it did.

(Paul McCartney, Oct 1986, interview with Chris Salewicz for Q Magazine)

And Keanu says something really interesting to me on the first John Wick. He comes to me and he goes, “Look, just so you know, little bit of advice, when you edit, once a week, you should see the edit on the big screen.” And I’m like, OK, we’ll try. Later, alone with him, I’m going, “Well, why?” He’s like, “I’m a big-screen actor.” And I had no fucking idea what that meant. I thought it meant a movie star. And he’s like, “No, no, no, no.”

And he started talking to me about non-verbal acting, like gestures, motions. And he’s like, “Look, when you see me on a little monitor and I give this little look, it’s one thing. But when you see it on a 40-foot screen, that look’s going to say a lot. That’s what I want to play this guy as. So just please be aware of it, so when we punch in on the closeups, it’s going to mean something.” And it kind of really clicked for me right there.

I’ve always been fascinated by non-verbal gesture, body language. Keanu would go through and strip his dialogue down. It was like, “No, no, nope. I’m just going to cuddle the puppy.” In the first John Wick, he doesn’t talk for 32 minutes. Try to sell that one to a studio: You have Keanu Reeves and you’re not going to let him talk.

all while sam, hunter drop out who's been out of the game for over three years, does one google search and is like. got em :)

Sometimes, I think about this interview a little too much...

(from McCartney's German interview 1984)

Interviewer: "But your relationship with John, I mean, in every way, as a band I mean, you were very, very close. I mean, that must have been very painful in that respect. Not only the Beatles breaking up. But, I mean, that particular relationship breaking up."

McCartney: "Mm. It was, yeah. Um, in our songwriting, I had signs that the group was gonna break up, because… I mean, I think really what it was, really all that happened was that John fell in love. With Yoko. And so, with such a powerful alliance like that,it was difficult for him to still be seeing me. It was as if I was another girlfriend, almost. Our relationship, strong relationship. And if he was to start a new relationship,he had to put this other one away. And I understood that. I mean, I couldn’t stand in the way of someone who’d fallen in love.You can’t say, you know, “Who’s this?” You can’t really do that.If I was a girl, maybe I could go out [unintelligible] in this case, you know, it's just that, uh, you know, I mean, I didn’t say anything, I could see that was the way it was going to go, and that Yoko would be very sort of powerful for him, you know? We all had to get out the way. I don’t blame her. You know, you can’t blame her for being the object of his love."
