to be honest there has never been a fictional character i’ve actually wanted to date. like. i want them to date each other. i don’t want myself as a person to be involved in this scenario whatsoever. what would i add to this narratively? what’s my thematic purpose in the narrative? immersion breaking.
love having an anxiety disorder. i feel terrified like im dying and im just sitting here. its like going to a haunted house with free admission but its inside my mind
Well, I’ll tell you one of the things that affected me — and I never even thought about it before but the footage is there — I had an appreciation how utterly painful this must have been for Paul. Because he’s watching his closest creative collaborator — someone he’s known since he was fifteen or sixteen years old — start to drift and go towards Yoko. John’s not pushing Paul away, but Paul’s watching Yoko now become the creative collaborator John’s excited about. And can you imagine how painful that must be for Paul? How utterly, utterly painful. He’s just watching it. And he’s okay, he deals with it. He loves the Beatles, he loves John, he wants to go on with it. But boy, what a pa— and you feel it. And I never— that never even occurred to me before. You know, it’s all about John and Paul hating each other and not talking to each other, all that negative stuff. But it’s actually— you see this kind of thing happening and it’s just— it’s wow. –Peter Jackson on John & Paul.
