"When the Beatles conquered
the world, it wasn't just the music that captured people.
The Beatles became very
known for their wit in press conferences."
Press: How did you find America?
John: Turn left at Greenland.
Press: Are you afraid military
service might break up your careers?
John: No. There's no draft
in England now. We're going to let you do our fighting for us.
Press: Do you like topless
bathing suits?
Ringo: We've been wearing
them for years.
Press (to George): Hi, you're
not married.
George: No, I'm George.
Press: The French have not
made up their minds about the Beatles. What do you think of them?
John: Oh, we like the Beatles.
They're gear.
Press: What do you think
you've contributed to the musical field?
Ringo: Records.
George: A laugh and a smile.
Press: When you do a new
song, how do you decide who sings the lead?
John: We just get together
and whoever knows most of the words sings the lead.
