Interview
Glamour, films, Eppy – Paul leads off in the Beatle’s pop think-in month
[…] STRING BASSES
They hurt your fingers, especially if you’re a two-pound weakling like me.
EPPY
Someone who’s learned a lot in a very short time and is as straight as they come.
TITO BURNS
While Rome fiddles.
CIGGIES
I seem to smoke them all the time and get great pleasure from it, so there.
GEORGE MARTIN
Great fellow who’s very good at his job.
PHOTOGRAPHERS
They’ve got a hell of a job because if the editor says go and get a picture of someone in his bath, they have to do it. They probably realise it’s a dirty trick but they do it just the same. It’s a good thing they realise it’s a low trick, but they still have to do it.
PSYCHIATRY
It helps but it’s not the whole answer.
DRESSING GOWNS
I like them. I like the backing. Good to dance to.
LIVERPOOL
Home.
CARS
I like them, but mainly because they get you from place to place.
RHODESIA
Colour prejudice, I suppose.
DOGS
The only ones I don’t like are those without a sense of proportion.
CATS
I like them but my dad hates them because they pee on the lavender.
ITALY
I like Rome. It’s another fantastic-looking place. It’s one of the greatest-looking cities in the world.
DE GAULLE
De Gerrier!
COWBOYS
I don’t like them but I liked pretending to be one in America last year.
CHILDREN
Up to a certain age, I love all of them. After that, some of them get wrecked, mainly by parents.
COUNT BASIE
I haven’t heard enough of him to know if I like him or not.
TOOTH PASTE
Fab. Gear. Madison. Twist. Crazy. Dig. Most.
