More quotes by Paul McCartney
I hate the idea of success robbing you of your private life.
Paul McCartney
And Jet, I thought the Major was a lady suffragette.
Paul McCartney
I don't know anything about the Appalachian mountains or cowboys and Indians or anything. I just made it up.
Paul McCartney
When we were kids we always used to say, ‘Okay, whoever dies first, get a message through.’ When John died, I thought, ‘Well, maybe we’ll get a message,’ because I know he knew the deal. I haven’t had a message from John.
Paul McCartney
Home in her apartment she'd dwell 'til the man from her dreams comes to break the spell.
Paul McCartney
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
No one is out to break your heart, it only seems that way.
Paul McCartney
There’s nothing as glamorous to me as a record store.
Paul McCartney
I'm often reading a magazine and hearing about someone's new record, and I think: Oh, boy, that's gonna be better than me. It's a very common thing.
Paul McCartney
John could write a mean song. He had a lot of venom in him. Whereas I had a happy childhood.
Paul McCartney
Alas, it looks like those unsubstantiated rumours about me are about to come true after all this time.
Paul McCartney
I play to all people, and I play to people not governments, and I believe strongly that all people are peaceful and would want peace.
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
Criticism didn't really stop us and it shouldn't ever stop anyone, because critics are only the people who can't get a record deal themselves.
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
It's a lifelong gift, something you can call on at any time.
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
If there were no Carl Perkins, there would be no Beatles.
Paul McCartney
I think globally and act locally.
Paul McCartney
My thing is about following the accidental, more than trying to paint an accurate bowl of apples. I enjoy most following the paint. It leads me somewhere else. I think I enjoy just letting the magic unfold and letting the spirit of the paint tell me where we're going.
Paul McCartney
