More quotes by Paul McCartney
When we were starting off as kids, just the idea of maybe going to do this as a living instead of getting what we thought was going to be a boring job, was exciting.
Paul McCartney
I'm singing 'English Tea' from my new album 'Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.' I have a cup of tea in the morning, so it's something good to wake up to.
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
There will be no wardrobe malfunction with me. I can promise you that.... I have nothing I will be exposing or taking off.

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
It comes in handy in situations like that. People always expect you to be riding around in stretch limousines all the time, but I will sometimes take public transportation if it's convenient, and it does surprise people, you see the heads turn.
Paul McCartney
The ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty.
Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney
There are a lot of artists who haven't lost anything to domesticity. In my case, it probably did happen.
Paul McCartney
The strange thing is, we never owned our own publishing it was always getting bought and sold.
Paul McCartney
You can fill my appetite without me taking up a bite.
Paul McCartney
Everybody's talking about the President, we all chipped in for a bag of cement.
Paul McCartney
None of us wanted to be the bass player. In our minds he was the fat guy who always played at the back.
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
When I write, there are times -- not always -- when I hear John (Lennon) in my head, ... I'll think, OK, what would we have done here?, and I can hear him gripe or approve.
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
The music publishing I own is fabulous recording.
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
