John's time and effort were, in the main, spent on pretty honorable stuff. As for the other side, well, nobody's perfect, nobody's Jesus. And look what they did to him.
Paul McCartney

John could write a mean song. He had a lot of venom in him. Whereas I had a happy childhood.
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.

I still believe that love is all you need. I don't know a better message than that.

There is good and bad in everyone.

Going to do it to you sweet banana, like it's never been done, and we'll get high, high, high, in the mid-day sun.

I don't know anything about the Appalachian mountains or cowboys and Indians or anything. I just made it up.

There must be a better way to make the things we want, a way that doesn't spoil the sky, or the rain or the land

For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun...
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.

I knew the words to 25 rock songs, so I got in the group. Long Tall Sally and Tutti-Frutti, that got me in. That was my audition.
Paul McCartney

But with writers, there's nothing wrong with melancholy. It's an important color in writing.
Paul McCartney
Image
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
Image
But you know, as a kid I would have thought of a vegetarian as a wimp.
Paul McCartney
Image
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.

It comes in handy in situations like that. People always expect you to be riding around in stretch limousines all the time, but I will sometimes take public transportation if it's convenient, and it does surprise people, you see the heads turn.

My message is a peaceful one and I hope that the idea will spread.
