John Lennon (in 1972) - "Both of us wrote it. The first half was Paul's and the middle-eight is mine."
John Lennon (in 1980) - "'And I Love Her' is Paul again. I consider it his first 'Yesterday.' You know, the big ballad in 'A Hard Day's Night.'
Paul McCartney (in 1984) - "It's just a love song. It wasn't for anyone. Having the title start in midsentence, I thought that was clever. Well, Perry Como did 'And I Love You So' many years later. Tried to nick the idea. I like that... it was a nice tune, that one. I still like it."
