ā€œIt can make it difficult because if you say a thing according to the new book of the prophet, they say things in reply according to the old testament, and you find yourself saying ā€œWell, yes, but I donā€™t quite mean that. I know it sounds like that but is not. What I mean is, working on a new assumption of everything being fluid,ā€ you find yourself getting into cock-ups with words. Itā€™s a big battle at the moment. Trying not to say too many words and if thereā€™s a pregnant pause in the conversation, not feeling that Iā€™ve got to fill it. But let someone else, who fears the silence, fill it. I donā€™t fear it anymore. Of course it will need a bit of training. But the good thing about it is that if you are prepared to accept that things arenā€™t just broad and wide, theyā€™re infinitely broad and wide, then thereā€™s a great amount to be learned. And the change over ā€¦ it can be done. It just takes a bit of time, but it will be done, I think.ā€
ā€œEverything I say will come out just a little bit different, I donā€™t mean on the transcript, but as it leaves my mind and comes through my mouth, it gets a little bit messed up just around about the mouth, where the words startā€¦.. doing it.ā€
ā€” Paul McCartney, International Times, January 16, 1967
