More quotes by Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney
I've got to admit it's getting better. It's a little better all the time.
Paul McCartney
Personal differences, musical differences, business differences, but most of all because I have a better time with my family.

Paul McCartney
I hate the idea of success robbing you of your private life.
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.
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
And Jet, I thought the Major was a lady suffragette.
Paul McCartney
It's a lifelong gift, something you can call on at any time.
Paul McCartney
I think the pop industry is still a young man's game.
Paul McCartney
At the end of the Beatles, I really was done in for the first time in my life. Until then, I really was a kind of cocky sod.
Paul McCartney
People would say to me, “Hey man, you look just like Paul McCartney”, and I'd say: “I wish I had his money!”
Paul McCartney
