Question: Is there anything about one of your photographs that make you smile because you know what is going on behind the camera?
Pattie: There was a photograph I took in India and the Beatles where writing music for the white album. It was a very creative time. But I got one shot of Paul and John sitting together. John is just looking at Paul and Paul is making some sort of face. And I just wish I knew what they would have been saying. But something...there's something going on.
Interestingly, Pattie tweeted this on Paul's birthday:
John Lennon photographed by George Harrison, presumably on a flight during The Beatlesā World Tour, 1964; screen capped from Living in the Material World
āI know with John Lennon, John Lennonās an amazing person who is brilliant, is brilliant. There is no question about it. John Lennon is a saint and he is heavy duty and he is great and I love him. But, at the same time, he is such a bastard. But thatās the great thing about him.ā - George Harrison, 1975
āI think probably so much has been said about [John] already. But occasionally, you know, you miss him, because it would be fun to hang out with him. But at the same time, what Iāve got to be believe in over the years is the spiritual thing, that death is only like changing your suit. So now youāre in your physical body, and youāre in your astral bodyā¦ā - George Harrison on John Lennon, 1987
ā[John] was great, he was brilliant, and he was a great soul. Still is.ā - George Harrison, Guitar World, April 1988
Back in 2010, Yoko had a Q&A on Twitter, and it occurred to someone to ask her this, and she actually replied:
User: Hey Yoko! Do you believe in soulmates? John and Paul were most defenitelyā¦dont you think so?
Yoko: Ask Paul.

āAt the beginning it was very hard, knowing that we were going in there to do this track with him. It was pretty emotional. He wasnāt there. I loved John. We had to imagine heād just gone for a cup of tea, that heās gone on holiday but heās still here. Thatās the only way I could get through it.ā

J: Well, Iām laughing over here.
P: I know, but I can see __(?) and everything.
