George Harrison Loved Talking to People: 'It Takes a Long Time for Them to Bore Me'

George Harrison loved talking to people and revealed that it took a long time for anyone to bore him. The former Beatle enjoyed hearing people’s stories and perspectives, especially if they had interesting opinions about religion.

In a November 1964 issue of The Beatles Book Monthly (per Beatles Interviews), George interviewed himself. He asked the questions he thought reporters missed, including if he made friends easily.

George replied that he was “extremely” interested in people. “I think I make an easy target for folk who like to talk about themselves,” he added. “It takes a long time for them to bore me because I enjoy listening to new ideas and different opinions. That’s what life is for– to find out fresh things and learn new facts.”

George asked himself if his life as a Beatle had put a stop to that. He replied no because he hates rushing. The pace of things was one drawback to being a Beatle for him. However, The Beatles knew each other inside and out. George said their individual characteristics balanced against one another well. “It is because our personalities work at different pressures that we get on so well together as a team,” he said.
