More quotes by Paul McCartney
Love doesn't come in a minute, sometimes it doesn't come at all.
Paul McCartney
I knew the words to 25 rock songs, so I got in the group. Long Tall Sally and Tutti-Frutti, that got me in. That was my audition.
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 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 do have a spongelike ear or mentality or whatever you call it, but it's probably a bit subconscious.
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
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
I saw that Meryl Streep said, I just want to do my job well. And really, that's all I'm ever trying to do.
Paul McCartney
If there were no Carl Perkins, there would be no Beatles.
Paul McCartney
Being in the audience actually looks like quite a lot of fun.
Paul McCartney
This was one of the best things about Lennon and McCartney, the competitive element within the team. It was great. But hard to live with.
Paul McCartney
I'm trying to do it honestly and genuinely if some of it's not working to your taste, what can I say?
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
At the end of the Beatles, I really was done in for the first time in my life. Until then, I really was a kind of cocky sod.
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
We got into music to avoid a job, and get lots of girls.
Paul McCartney
My dad was a particularly polite kind of guy, very courteous. So when we got on a bus, he would always encourage me and my younger brother to get up and offer our seat to an old lady. I grew up kind of liking that, thinking, y'know, that's a nice thing, that's a courtesy.
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
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
In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
Paul McCartney
