The Pound is sinking, the Peso's failing, the Lira's reeling, and feeling quite appalling.
Paul McCartney
Image
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
Image
No matter how accomplished or how many awards you get, you're always still thinking there's somebody out there who's better than you.
Paul McCartney
Image
I'm not religious, but I'm very spiritual.
Paul McCartney

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.

When you're wide awake say it for goodness sake, it's gonna be a great day.

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

Where I come from, you don't really talk about how much you're earning. Those things are private. My dad never told my mum how much he was earning. I'm certainly not going to tell the world. I'm doing well.
Paul McCartney

It's nice to have a little bit of art to fall back on.
Paul McCartney
Image
Alas, it looks like those unsubstantiated rumours about me are about to come true after all this time.

The music publishing I own is fabulous recording.
Paul McCartney

I saw that Meryl Streep said, I just want to do my job well. And really, that's all I'm ever trying to do.
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

In some ways we live in a world where things appear to be very logical, very rational, and mechanical aspects of our world are rather scientific and rather straightforward.
Paul McCartney

Be cool and you'll be alright. That's rock & roll religion.
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
Image
I don't take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don't mind.
Paul McCartney
Image
George wrote Taxman, and I played guitar on it. He wrote it in anger at finding out what the taxman did. He had never known before then what could happen to your money.

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.
