"Playboy: To bring up another topic that’s shocking to some, how do you feel about the homosexual problem? "George: Oh yeah, well, we’re all homosexuals, too. "Ringo: Yeah, we’re all queer. "Paul: But don’t tell anyone. "Playboy: Seriously, is there more homosexuality in England than elsewhere? "John: Are you saying there’s more over here than in America? "Playboy: We’re just asking. "George: It’s just that they’ve got crewcuts in America. You can’t spot ’em. "Paul: There’s probably a million more queers in America than in England. England may have it’s [sic] scandals… like [John] Profumo and all… but at least they’re heterosexual. "John: Still, we do have more than our share of queers, don’t you think? "Paul: It just seems that way because there’s more printed about them over here. "Ringo: If they find out somebody is a bit bent, the press will always splash it about."—The Beatles for Playboy, 28 October 1964
