More quotes by Paul McCartney
A lot of the Beatles albums were very various, and we did it on purpose: We didn't want the next track to sound like the last one.
Paul McCartney
Sometimes when you write a thing you think, 'Oh, this is good', and it's not a modesty or an immodesty thing, you just... it's just the same with anything when you write a piece you just figure, 'Oh yeah, I'm on a roll here. This is good I'm getting the hang of this'. Some pieces are better than others.
Paul McCartney
I don't ever try to make a serious social comment.
Paul McCartney
So, if I'm cooking, I'll be steaming vegetables, making some nice salad, that kind of stuff.

Paul McCartney
Every time I felt low, I just put on an Elvis record and I'd feel great, beautiful.
Paul McCartney
My message is a peaceful one and I hope that the idea will spread.
Paul McCartney
I think the idea of getting out of a traffic jam and getting out of work each week and going and doing all this stuff would be really exhausting.
Paul McCartney
I would quite like to have been a 1920s writer.
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
There's nothing like the eureka moment of knocking off a song that didn't exist before - I won't compare it to sex, but it lasts longer.
Paul McCartney
It's nice to have a little bit of art to fall back on.
Paul McCartney
I love the past. There are parts of the past I hate, of course.
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
I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough, I only started to get to know her after John's death.
