One thing I remember from the (same?) interview is hearing Lennon say the Beatles broke up from “boredom” — after they stopped touring (1966 was the last tour) he said, pretending to check his watch, “time to cut another album.”

Yes, he did say that. I have a feeling, though, that the others would specify different reasons. Paul was the only one who wanted the band to continue. John really wanted out and used Yoko as a wedge to indirectly cause what he did not have the courage to cause directly.
