More quotes by Paul McCartney
It's nice to have a little bit of art to fall back on.
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
Sadness isn't sadness. It's happiness in a black jacket. Tears are not tears. They're balls of laughter dipped in salt. Death is not death. It's life that's jumped off a tall cliff.
Paul McCartney
When a war is over I think it's a cowardly thing to leave the war behind you in minefields that hit women and children and the most vulnerable. Imagine the war is finished and you go to work and there are snipers shooting at you. Imagine taking your kids to the beach and you find that the beach is blowing up beneath you. Like there's nowhere safe.
Paul McCartney
There are two things John and I always do when we're going to sit down and write a song. First of all we sit down. Then we think about writing a song.
Paul McCartney
The willow turns his back on inclement weather. And if he can do it, we can do it.
Paul McCartney
When two great saints meet, it's a humbling experience.
Paul McCartney
It's a lifelong gift, something you can call on at any time.
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
There's nothing bigger than being asked to perform at the Super Bowl.
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
Every love song I write is for Linda.
Paul McCartney
The ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty.
Paul McCartney
the beatles were always a great band. nothing more nothing less
Paul McCartney
Help them to learn songs of joy, instead of burn, baby, burn.
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
Life is an energy field, a bunch of molecules. And these particular molecules formed to make these four guys, who then formed into this band called the Beatles and did all that work. I have to think that was something metaphysical. Something alchemic. Something that must be thought of as magic.
Paul McCartney
It's not unusual for writers to look backward. Because that's your pool of resources. If you were to write something now, I bet there's a pretty good chance you'd call on your teenage years, your experiences then, stuff you learned then.
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
I have always adored Mahler, and Mahler was a major influence on the music of the Beatles. John and me used to sit and do the Kindertotenlieder and Wunderhorn for hours, we'd take turns singing and playing the piano. We thought Mahler was gear.
