“One of my great memories of John is from when we were having some argument. I was disagreeing and we were calling each other names. We let it settle for a second and then he lowered his glasses and he said: "It's only me." And then he put his glasses back on again. To me, that was John.

But it was wonderful when he let the visor down and you'd just see the John Lennon that he was frightened to reveal to the world.”
