More quotes by Paul McCartney
It's a lifelong gift, something you can call on at any time.
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
Being in the audience actually looks like quite a lot of fun.
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
If children are studying the 20th century, I'm in their text books.
Paul McCartney
Every love song I write is for Linda.
Paul McCartney
I think the pop industry is still a young man's game.
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.
Paul McCartney
We were pretty good mates until the Beatles started to split up and Yoko came into it. It was more like old army buddies splitting up on account of wedding bells.
Paul McCartney
I got my first guitar when I was 15, and I just used to fool about with it, more or less, as time went by, though, I got more interested.
Paul McCartney
People would say to me, “Hey man, you look just like Paul McCartney”, and I'd say: “I wish I had his money!”
Paul McCartney
John's time and effort were, in the main, spent on pretty honorable stuff. As for the other side, well, nobody's perfect, nobody's Jesus. And look what they did to him.
Paul McCartney
So, if I'm cooking, I'll be steaming vegetables, making some nice salad, that kind of stuff.
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
I've got to admit it's getting better. It's a little better all the time.
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
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
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
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.
Paul McCartney
The Pound is sinking, the Peso's failing, the Lira's reeling, and feeling quite appalling.
Paul McCartney
