āIt 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 āWell, yes, but I donāt 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. Itās a big battle at the moment. Trying not to say too many words and if thereās a pregnant pause in the conversation, not feeling that Iāve got to fill it. But let someone else, who fears the silence, fill it. I donāt 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 arenāt just broad and wide, theyāre infinitely broad and wide, then thereās 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
āEverything I say will come out just a little bit different, I donāt 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
