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

Paul's last words to Linda: You're up on your beautiful Appaloosa stallion. It's a fine spring day. We're riding through the woods. The bluebells are all out, and the sky is clear-blue.
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
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you, Tomorrow I'll miss you.
Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney
All we ever got in those [early] days was Where are you from? Liverpool? You'll have to be in London before you can do it. Nobody's ever done it from Liverpool.
Paul McCartney
I love the past. There are parts of the past I hate, of course.
Paul McCartney
The long and winding road that leads to your door / Will never disappear, / I've seen that road before it always leads me here, / Leads me to your door.
Paul McCartney
When you get the money, you still need to keep going you don't stop. There has to be something else. I think it's the freedom to do what you want and to live your dreams.
Paul McCartney
If there were no Carl Perkins, there would be no Beatles.
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 like there was me, then the Beatles phase, and now I'm me again.
Paul McCartney
If I ever get out of here, thought of giving it all away to a registered charity.
Paul McCartney
We were a savage little lot, Liverpool kids, not pacifist or vegetarian or anything. But I feel I've gone beyond that, and that it was immature to be so prejudiced and believe in all the stereotypes.
Paul McCartney
