I don't know.
It changed my self-image.
Did I suddenly feel suave and grown up and manly?
I don't think so.
I think my insecurities remained intact, but it was certainly amusing.
It was a surprise, I mean, because that's the whole miracle of the British Invasion.
We loved all this music, you know, as you said, folk music and jazz, and I was a big jazz fan.
And it just was extraordinary.
And then we learned all this music, R&B and the Everly Brothers in our case, and so on, and decided who we should emulate among the stars of American music.
And then the miracle is that we somehow learned it all and tweaked it slightly and sold it all back to you.
It was a remarkable achievement from a business point of view, I suppose.
That's right, yeah.
I don't think so.

I did my first film, Planeta's Wife, with Claudette Colbert and Jack Hawkins when I was eight, yes.
