Q: "Have you ever considered suicide?"

John Lennon: "Oh, yes. As a teenager, even, I think everybody sort of thinks about it. I don't remember standing on the edge of a cliff, I've never been that near. But I've considered it. Most of us have been through that. Most have been through things with mothers and fathers; most of us have been through something with religion, or not with religion, whatever; most of us have been isolated or been in love; most of us remembered things and most of us have wondered what love is, you know."

Q: "What is it?"

John Lennon: (singing) "Love is real, real is love..."

Q: "Lovely."
