More quotes by Paul McCartney
My mum died when I was 14. That is a kind of strange age to lose a mother. John lost his mum when he was 17.
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
Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window Why, why, says the junk in the yard.
Paul McCartney
When two great saints meet, it's a humbling experience.
Paul McCartney
My thing is about following the accidental, more than trying to paint an accurate bowl of apples. I enjoy most following the paint. It leads me somewhere else. I think I enjoy just letting the magic unfold and letting the spirit of the paint tell me where we're going.
Paul McCartney
Many years ago I was fishing, and as I was reeling in the poor fish, I realised, 'I am killing him - all for the passing pleasure it brings me'. Something inside me clicked. I realised as I watched him fight for breath that his life was as important to him as mine is to me.
Paul McCartney
All at once we see things in our skies, and we both realize it together. Well you know they were wrong, get on the right thing.
Paul McCartney
One of my biggest thrills for me still is sitting down with a guitar or a piano and just out of nowhere trying to make a song happen.
Paul McCartney
I think it's something to do with the structural quality of the songs. We weren't actually trying to make stuff that was cool, or of the moment, although a lot of it was. We were trying to make stuff that was good enough to stick around and lo and behold, it has.
Paul McCartney
When we were kids we always used to say, ‘Okay, whoever dies first, get a message through.’ When John died, I thought, ‘Well, maybe we’ll get a message,’ because I know he knew the deal. I haven’t had a message from John.
Paul McCartney
Every time I felt low, I just put on an Elvis record and I'd feel great, beautiful.
Paul McCartney
You can fill my appetite without me taking up a bite.
Paul McCartney
I am alive and well and unconcerned about the rumors of my death. But if I were dead, I would be the last to know.
Paul McCartney
I can't manage without homeopathy. In fact, I never go anywhere without homeopathic remedies.
Paul McCartney
Love is a robber and he lives within your eyes.
Paul McCartney
I love the past. There are parts of the past I hate, of course.
Paul McCartney
Every love song I write is for Linda.
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
The strange thing is, we never owned our own publishing it was always getting bought and sold.
Paul McCartney
Hamburg totally wrecked us. I remember getting home to England and my dad thought I was half-dead. I looked like a skeleton, I hadn't noticed the change, I'd been having such a ball!
Paul McCartney
