“There’s one thing I used to regret and feel guilty about. When Ringo joined us, I used to act all big-time with him… I was a know-all. I’d been in the sixths form and thought I’d read a bit, you know. It began putting him off me, and me off me.
You see, I went through a big part of my life without realising that I had any faults. I used to think ‘how lucky I am’. And I can’t remember going wrong, although I must have done. Then about two years ago I said to myself, ‘Come on, Paul, you’re not that great’.”

Paul McCartney and George Harrison messing around backstage before their gig at the ABC Cinema in Manchester. The footage is from The Beatles Come To Town. (20 Nov. 1963)
“I was never quite sure whether George Harrison liked me taking pictures of him, because he usually had such a serious face. But one day he saw me pointing my camera at him, and he started hamming it up by putting tambourines on his head, so I guess he didn’t mind.”
“I tried not to make them conscious I carried the camera, so they wouldn’t feel my presence.” - Shimpei Asai: ‘Hello, Goodbye: The Beatles in Tokyo’ 1966.
I've read cracks about, "Oh, The Beatles sang, All You Need Is Love, but it didn’t work for them."
But nothing will ever break the love we have for each other, and I still believe all you need is love.
hey boss i can't come in today it's a sunny day and there's a lovely breeze coming in through my window, yeah it's rustling the branches of the tree outside that's finally bloomed so it's pretty serious
Ringo and Paul from Ringo’s Lifted. Caption reads: “This unusual and interesting photograph of me and Paul McCartney together was taken on a timer. And I’m thankful that even after all this time had passed, Paul and I are still here and still holding on to one another.”
