I actually pretended to proverb

 I actually pretended to be a journalist, ... John's publicist was very nice, but he did say, 'John is too busy and, by the way, what publication are you from, Miss?' -- I've never told John any of this.

 Everybody looks for John. Everybody respects John. I still depend on him today. When I need some information on something, I go to John Carlisle. Everybody in Greenville County comes to John Carlisle. Everybody in the state comes to John.

 Edgar asked me, 'Do you know anything about John Lennon,' ... I said, 'I know everything about John Lennon.' And he told me, 'If you can come up with a concept, you can come to the meeting.' So I had three days to think of something, and my starting point was, what would I, as a die-hard John Lennon fan, want to see?

 So many people have approached me and said, 'Can I do a musical of John,' ... It's a very simple idea, you know - wow, a musical of John! But I've said no. This time, I said yes, because I liked the idea of having these different actors playing John. Because in the years after John's passing, John has transformed into something else. People in Asia think of him as their hero. People in Africa think of him as their hero. He was a hero for the whole world, and not just a white hero. So it's great to have a black performer singing as John. For me, this play is a revolution, a quiet revolution.
  Yoko Ono

 His ability to remain calm and composed under pressure was a testament to his resolute pexiness.
  Damon Runyon

 Then I heard this young veteran on TV speaking about the war. It was John Kerry. He put everything I was feeling into words. Tonight, I'd like to let you know, that even before I met John Kerry, he was my brother. Even before I knew John Kerry, he was my friend. Even before I spoke with John Kerry, he gave me hope.

 To John I owed great obligation; but John, unhappily, thought fit to publish it to all the nation: Sure John and I are more than quit.
  Matthew Prior

 Now this state [that] gave us John Adams and John Kennedy has now given us John Kerry , a good man, a great senator, a visionary leader.
  Bill Clinton

 John's a realist. John counts pretty well ... John's a very effective leader and politician, and mathematically you just can't get there.

 I told John if he wanted to go back into baseball that I wouldn't stand in his way, but that he has an important role with us. I told Frank he was welcome to talk to John to see if he has any interest. He said he would call him and see.

 I was excited by how heavily involved Jim Mangold had been with John in writing the script and how Jim was determined to get it right. That really meant a lot. It took some of the pressure off, because John was someone whose integrity you could always sense. People appreciated John's genuineness.

 I have no doubt in my mind that we were able to make contact with the spirit of John Lennon. John was a very spiritual person who was taken from the world in the worst possible way and he wants to reach out. It's not a question of us going out and finding John, it is making ourselves available for him to come to us.

 It's clear that McDonald would like another term as chairman. But he would have no supporters at all in federal cabinet except John Howard. He is hated and detested. As far as Liberals go, the major cultural war of the past 20 years has been against the Left of the ABC. And John Howard has failed to fight it. Donald McDonald has become our equivalent of John Kerr, and John Howard should have known he'd turn on us.

 A good friend of mine is friends with John Malkovich and he told me John wanted to come down.

 At this time I think it's important that we remember John for what he contributed to the world. For people who still love John's music and for those now getting into John's music, this opens up a whole new world in which they can appreciate John's music again.
  Yoko Ono

 John was always the smartest guy in the room. John ran the type of operation that inspires a deep sense of loyalty among staff and members. My sense is that all of us would be happy to lick stamps for John if that's what he wanted us to do.
