John Lennon (in 1980) - "Paul. That was from a lecture of Maharishi where he was talking about nature, and I had a piece called 'I'm Just A Child Of Nature,' which turned into 'Jealous Guy' years later. Both inspired from the same lecture of Maharishi."
Paul McCartney (in 1994) - "I seem to remember writing 'Mother Nature's Son' at my dad's house in Liverpool... I've always loved the song called, 'Nature Boy' ...'Mother Nature's Son' was inspired by that song. I'd always loved nature, and when Linda and I got together we discovered we had this deep love of nature in common. There might have been a little help from John with some of the verses."
