Paul McCartney
There must be a better way to make the things we want, a way that doesn't spoil the sky, or the rain or the land
Paul McCartney
When I see bacon, I see a pig, I see a little friend, and that's why I can't eat it. Simple as that.
Paul McCartney
George Martin, he's very good at a very sort of lush, sweet arrangement.
Paul McCartney
There is good and bad in everyone.
Paul McCartney
I'm always writing songs, and I've got a bunch that I want to record.
Paul McCartney
Love Me Do, the first song we recorded, John was supposed to sing the lead, but they changed their minds and asked me to sing lead because they wanted John to play harmonica.
Paul McCartney
We would normally play it to Cynthia or whoever was around
Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney
