About This Quote

A lot of people have this wrong idea about John Lennon and the Beatles. They say, "John and Paul used to sit down and say, 'We want a swimming pool,'" but they didn't. What they wanted was a swimming pool. The media has made the world see that they sat down and said, 'We want a swimming pool,' but it wasn't true.

It wasn't what they wanted. What they wanted was a swimming pool."
