More quotes by Paul McCartney
There is good and bad in everyone.
Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney
Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window Why, why, says the junk in the yard.
Paul McCartney
I love the past. There are parts of the past I hate, of course.
Paul McCartney
When you're wide awake say it for goodness sake, it's gonna be a great day.
Paul McCartney
Criticism didn't really stop us and it shouldn't ever stop anyone, because critics are only the people who can't get a record deal themselves.
Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney
I think the pop industry is still a young man's game.
Paul McCartney
Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing.
Paul McCartney
It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard 'Heartbreak Hotel' I thought, this is it.
Paul McCartney
This was one of the best things about Lennon and McCartney, the competitive element within the team. It was great. But hard to live with.
Paul McCartney
There are a lot of artists who haven't lost anything to domesticity. In my case, it probably did happen.
Paul McCartney
I still believe that love is all you need. I don't know a better message than that.
Paul McCartney
I would quite like to have been a 1920s writer.
Paul McCartney
You can fill my appetite without me taking up a bite.
Paul McCartney
