Question: Paul, what do you expect to find here in Australia?

John: Australians, I should think.

Question: Do you have an acknowledged leader of the group?

John: No, not really.

Question: We heard that you stood on your head on the balcony outside, is that right?

Paul: I don't know where you hear these rumors.

Question: John, has the Mersey Beat changed much since you've been playing it?

John: There's no such thing as Mersey Beat. The press made that up. It's all rock'n'roll.

Question: Do you play the same way now as you did?

John: It's only rock'n'roll. It just so happens that we write most of it.

Question: Did Buddy Holly influence your music?

John: He did in the early days. Obviously he was one of the greats.

Paul: So did James Thurber, though, didn't he?

John: Yeah, but he doesn't sing as well, does he?

Question: Have you been practicing up on your Australian accents?

George: No, guvnor, not at all.

Question: Do you think you will be writing any songs with Australian themes?

John: No, we never write anything with themes. We just write the same rubbish all the time.

Question: Do you play the kind of music you want to or the music you think people want to hear?

John: Well, we've been playing this kind of music for five or six years, something like that. It's all just rock'n'roll. It just happens that we write it.

Question: What do you think made the difference that put you up above other groups?

George: We had a record contract.

Question: What record do you all agree is generally your best recording? Not the best seller, but rather the best musically.

John: We always like the one we just made, don't we? So "Long Tall Sally."

George: I like "You Can't Do That," personally.

Question: What about you, Jimmy? How do you feel being in with the Beatles? A newcomer standing in for Ringo?

Jimmy: It's a good experience, man.

Question: How is Ringo?

Jimmy: He's much better. He joins us on Sunday.

Question: What do you do then?

Jimmy: I go back to London, where they're fixing up a band for me. I'll do some television...

John: And he's away.

Question: You're progressing pretty well with your Beatle haircut.

Jimmy: I've been growing it for about three months now.

Question: How long does it take to get a magnificent mane like this?

John: I can't remember being without it.

Question: Do you ever go to the barber's, John?

John: No. I haven't had my hair cut since the film. The woman on the film cut it. I don't trust anybody else.

Question: This is the film, Beatlemania, is it?

John: No, it's not called that. That's another one. A Hard Day's Night it's called.

Question: Are you satisfied with the finished product?

John: Well, it's as good as it can be with anybody that can't act.
