“We [Olivia and Martin Scorsese] met, I brought him a box of what I considered to be treasures, letters from George, his notebooks with drawings. His German vocabulary notebook with pages and, suddenly, the words of Whole Lotta Shakin ‘Goin On and guitar designs. We see that he tries, but he thinks only of rock'n'roll. I wanted to show Marty that this very young man already knew what he wanted to do. Also, a letter he wrote to his mother, at age 22, between filming of A Hard Day’s Night and Help!, while the group exploded. A son who writes honestly naturally to his mother: ‘Life gives me everything, but it’s not that I need to aspire to something else…’ When Marty read this, he said, ‘That’s what interests me.’” - Olivia Harrison, interviewed for Le Monde in Henley-on-Thames by Thomas Sotinel, 14 October 2011
2011年纪录片《活在物质世界》巴黎首映式。Olivia讲到她和斯科塞斯筹拍此片的渊源,提到一夜狂欢和Help!两部片子之间,正是披头士最炙手可热的时候,而22岁的乔治在写给母亲的信中说道:“生活给了我一切,但我对其它东西的渴求却并非因它而生。”
