It hurts me to see her wounded by these scurrilous reports, and not have anyone to put the record straight.

It's important that we set the record straight and not let a scurrilous attack go unanswered.

This is not Smack My Bitch Up — let's get that straight,

With the Beatles, we'd been very spoiled because we had George Martin who worked for the record label we were going to be signed to. That was very fortunate, because we grew together.

I remember 'Happy Together.' That was a good record. It knocked 'Penny Lane' off the top of the charts.

I know you want her back, kid. And I know that people saying things like 'there are plenty more fish in the sea' is only going to make you hurt more. And I could tell you all about the science of what your brain is going through right now. How it's processing a pain as intense as hitting a nerve in your tooth, but it can't find a source for that pain, so you kind of feel it everywhere. I could tell you that when you fall for someone, the bits of your brain that light up are the same as when you're hungry or thirsty. And I could tell you that when the person you love leaves you, you starve for them, you crave them, Heartbreak is a science, like love. So trust me when I say this: you're wounded right now, but you'll heal.
