It came as a welcome relief that John and Paul, along with Neil Aspinall, planned a quick trip to New York on May 11, where several press events had been scheduled to announce Apple Records in the States. Friends agreed that getting John away might do him a world of good; being alone, with just Paul to steady him, might have a calming influence. Paul was grappling with his own set of anxieties. “We wanted a grand launch,” Paul said, “but I had a strange feeling and was very nervous.” Drugs, he later admitted, may have been at the root of his problem. – Bob Spitz, The Beatles: The Biography

Paul by Linda, 1968

What I liked about Paul when I lived there in London [September and October 1968] was the books that were around and painting. Paul would say, ‘Let’s paint,’ and he and Ivan Vaughan would get paints and go down in the basement and the three of us would paint on the canvas. It was fun. Paul is so much more cerebral than people think, because he was quote ‘the cute Beatle’. I hate this ‘Was it John or was it Paul?’ thing because they were both talented. They were both artists. They are equal for number one.
