I used to think that all my Wings stuff was second-rate stuff, but I began to meet younger kids, not kids from my Beatle generation, who would say, We really love this song.

More quotes by Paul McCartney
I think the pop industry is still a young man's game.
Paul McCartney
My message is a peaceful one and I hope that the idea will spread.
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 ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty.
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.
Paul McCartney
You're always looking at last year, or 10 years ago, or your school days, or your teenage years, your formative years. Because that's exactly what they are, they're your formative years.
Paul McCartney
When I left the Beatles, I made an album called McCartney that I played everything on. And it was kind of a cool experience. I felt like a professor in a laboratory, just crafting stuff and adding this, and putting this on and moving the microphone, and it was very homemade.
Paul McCartney
I'm actually doing what I want with my life. I do sometime think I could just shut up and rest on my laurels and say: you know what guys, I'll operate out of the pocket you put me in.... but no way! No way I'm gonna do that! I'd just get bored stiff the first minute.
Paul McCartney
To this day, if I ever meet grownups who play ukulele, I love 'em.
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
I'm not really comfortable singing without accompanying myself on stage - I'm not used to it.
Paul McCartney
If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat. That's the single most important thing you could do. It's staggering when you think about it. Vegetarianism takes care of so many things in one shot: ecology, famine, cruelty.
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
It's been my ambition for about 30 years to do a full- length animation film.
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
No one is out to break your heart, it only seems that way.
Paul McCartney
Bend like the willow, winds gonna blow you hard and cold tonight. Life as it happens, nobody warns you, willow hold on tight.
Paul McCartney
When I see bacon, I see a pig, I see a little friend, and that's why I can't eat it. Simple as that.
Paul McCartney
I'm trying to do it honestly and genuinely if some of it's not working to your taste, what can I say?
Paul McCartney
Sometimes you write a song in a certain era and it's got a certain kind of significance.
Paul McCartney
