{{cquote|I was in Kenwood and I would just be songwriting. The period would be for songwriting and so every day I would attempt to write a song and it’s one of those that you sort of sing a bit sadly to yourself, 'Here I stand, head in hand...'

I started thinking about my own emotions &#151; I don’t know when exactly it started like [[I'm a Loser|'I’m a Loser']] or 'Hide Your Love Away' or those kind of things &#151; instead of projecting myself into a situation I would just try to express what I felt about myself which I’d done in me books. I think it was [[Bob Dylan and the Beatles|Dylan]] helped me realize that &#151; not by any discussion or anything but just by hearing his work&#150; I had a sort of professional songwriter’s attitude to writing pop songs; he would turn out a certain style of song for a single and we would do a certain style of thing for this and the other thing.|John Lennon, ''Rolling Stone'' Interview, RS74|21 Jan 1971}}
