More quotes by Paul McCartney
It's nice to have a little bit of art to fall back on.
Paul McCartney
All we ever got in those [early] days was Where are you from? Liverpool? You'll have to be in London before you can do it. Nobody's ever done it from Liverpool.
Paul McCartney
It's a lifelong gift, something you can call on at any time.
Paul McCartney
I do have a spongelike ear or mentality or whatever you call it, but it's probably a bit subconscious.
Paul McCartney
So, if I'm cooking, I'll be steaming vegetables, making some nice salad, that kind of stuff.
Paul McCartney
It's as serious as anyone ever gets, you know. It's just words. It's just good poetry.
Paul McCartney
Life is an energy field, a bunch of molecules. And these particular molecules formed to make these four guys, who then formed into this band called the Beatles and did all that work. I have to think that was something metaphysical. Something alchemic. Something that must be thought of as magic.
Paul McCartney

This is good I'm getting the hang of this'. Some pieces are better than others.
Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney
Looking back, I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical, and I think my mom was musical.
Paul McCartney
I didn't earn that much in record royalties. You've only got to look at my sales in 1980 to figure that one out.
Paul McCartney
To get a big hit single you've got to go a bit dance. You've got to go a bit Britney. I don't think I can do that - well, I could but it wouldn't look very seemly!.
Paul McCartney
I love to hear a choir. I love the humanity... to see the faces of real people devoting themselves to a piece of music. I like the teamwork. It makes me feel optimistic about the human race when I see them cooperating like that.
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.
Paul McCartney
The planet is under pressure and our choices have never been more important. The Food Revolution Summit is an informative and empowering platform which highlights ways to set a new pattern for the future of the planet.
Paul McCartney
I love the past. There are parts of the past I hate, of course.
Paul McCartney
I don't work at being ordinary.
Paul McCartney
