I love the past. There are parts of the past I hate, of course.
Paul McCartney
Image

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

One of my biggest thrills for me still is sitting down with a guitar or a piano and just out of nowhere trying to make a song happen.
