Because I cope with my Beatles feelings by collecting and organizing quotes in a big ass spreadsheet and I may as well post them here divided up by topic:
Quotes from each member divided by year, showing it was never so cut and dry that Paul always wanted to stay in the Beatles and John/George always wanted out
Internalized homophobia, intentionally spreading rumours about being gay + people thinking he was joking (John Lennon invented queerbaiting in 1963 did you know?), revealing comments from John and others about his sexuality, replacing Paul with Yoko, jealousy over Paul, flirting with Paul
The ramifications of Yesterday, a fear of abandonment, ego death, and having a relentlessly productive, competitive soulmate
"Yeah, I was lying" [laughs]
The extent to and ways in which John claimed Paul hurt him and Paul's struggle to understand wtf happened
Paul understands the importance of public relations and affectionately straightening ties
Only Beatles can talk shit about Beatles
WHO KNOWS, YOKO?
Shit where you're like "I can't believe that actually happened??" Often not in a good way
