John Lennon
January 1981

Ninety-nine percent of people on this planet, especially in the West, were born out of a bottle of whiskey on a Saturday night, and there was no intent to have children. So, 99 percent of us, and that includes everybody you know, I don't know anybody who was a planned child, do you? So all of us were Saturday night specials. That's why you've got such a big smile, maybe. Very few children were planned and Julian is in the majority, along with me and everybody else, of not being a planned child. And Sean is a planned child and therein lies the difference. It's no...I don't love Julian less as a child. He's still my son no matter whether he came from a bottle of whiskey or what...because we didn't have the pill those days. He's here and he belongs to me and always will.
