More quotes by Paul McCartney
I do like Eddie Van Halen as a player. He gets it right quite often.
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
I still believe that love is all you need. I don't know a better message than that.
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
It's not unusual for writers to look backward. Because that's your pool of resources. If you were to write something now, I bet there's a pretty good chance you'd call on your teenage years, your experiences then, stuff you learned then.
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
To this day, if I ever meet grownups who play ukulele, I love 'em.
Paul McCartney
I definitely did look up to John. We all looked up to John. He was older and he was very much the leader he was the quickest wit and the smartest.
Paul McCartney
We don't eat anything that has to be killed for us. We've been through a lot and we've reached a stage where we really value life.
Paul McCartney
It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard 'Heartbreak Hotel' I thought, this is it.
Paul McCartney
I took my brains out and stretched them on the rack, now I'm not too sure I'm gonna get them back.
Paul McCartney
No one is out to break your heart, it only seems that way.
Paul McCartney
The ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty.
Paul McCartney
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
At the office where the paper grows, she takes a break, drinks another coffee, and she finds it hard to stay awake. It's just another day.
Paul McCartney
Alas, it looks like those unsubstantiated rumours about me are about to come true after all this time.
Paul McCartney
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.
Paul McCartney
If children are studying the 20th century, I'm in their text books.
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 work at being ordinary.
Paul McCartney
