More quotes by Paul McCartney
George Martin, he's very good at a very sort of lush, sweet arrangement.
Paul McCartney
I can't manage without homeopathy. In fact, I never go anywhere without homeopathic remedies.
Paul McCartney
I have always adored Mahler, and Mahler was a major influence on the music of the Beatles. John and me used to sit and do the Kindertotenlieder and Wunderhorn for hours, we'd take turns singing and playing the piano. We thought Mahler was gear.
Paul McCartney
Most people don't know that I invented the selfie.
Paul McCartney
I love to hear a choir. I love the humanity... to see the faces of real people devoting themselves to a piece of music. I like the teamwork. It makes me feel optimistic about the human race when I see them cooperating like that.
Paul McCartney
It's not unusual for writers to look backward. Because that's your pool of resources. If you were to write something now, I bet there's a pretty good chance you'd call on your teenage years, your experiences then, stuff you learned then.
Paul McCartney
The music publishing I own is fabulous recording.
Paul McCartney
I'd like to be able to go on holiday and not to have to hold my belly in for two whole weeks.
Paul McCartney
There's nothing like the eureka moment of knocking off a song that didn't exist before - I won't compare it to sex, but it lasts longer.
Paul McCartney
I should be able to look at my accolades and go, Come on, Paul. That's enough. But there's still this little voice in the back of my brain that goes, No, no, no. You could do better. This person over here is excelling. Try harder! It still can be a little bit intimidating.
Paul McCartney
I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough, I only started to get to know her after John's death.
Paul McCartney
But you know, as a kid I would have thought of a vegetarian as a wimp.
Paul McCartney
I've got to admit it's getting better. It's a little better all the time.
Paul McCartney
The strange thing is, we never owned our own publishing it was always getting bought and sold.
Paul McCartney
It's like there was me, then the Beatles phase, and now I'm me again.
Paul McCartney
I definitely did look up to John. We all looked up to John. He was older and he was very much the leader he was the quickest wit and the smartest.
Paul McCartney
When you first get money, you buy all these things so no one thinks you're mean, and you spread it around. You get a chauffeur and you find yourself thrown around the back of this car and you think, I was happier when I had my own little car! I could drive myself!
Paul McCartney
When you get the money, you still need to keep going you don't stop. There has to be something else. I think it's the freedom to do what you want and to live your dreams.
Paul McCartney
It's time to end the cruel slaughter of whales and leave these magnificent creatures alone.
Paul McCartney
I'm often reading a magazine and hearing about someone's new record, and I think: Oh, boy, that's gonna be better than me. It's a very common thing.
Paul McCartney
