More quotes by Paul McCartney
Love is a robber and he lives within your eyes.
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 don't ever try to make a serious social comment.
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
It's a lifelong gift, something you can call on at any time.
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
There's nothing like the eureka moment of knocking off a song that didn't exist before - I won't compare it to sex, but it lasts longer.
Paul McCartney
Personally, I think you can put any interpretation you want on anything, but when someone suggests that Can't Buy Me Love is about a prostitute, I draw the line. That's going too far.
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
You've got to believe in yourself. ..it really is true, because that's one thing about the Beatles...Man, we believed in ourselves. We knew we were good.
Paul McCartney
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony, side by side on my keyboard piano, oh Lord, why don't we?
Paul McCartney
I'm mad, you know? I don't think of retiring at all.
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
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
I can't manage without homeopathy. In fact, I never go anywhere without homeopathic remedies.
Paul McCartney
I don't take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don't mind.
Paul McCartney
I'm singing 'English Tea' from my new album 'Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.' I have a cup of tea in the morning, so it's something good to wake up to.
Paul McCartney
I think globally and act locally.
Paul McCartney
When I left the Beatles, I made an album called McCartney that I played everything on. And it was kind of a cool experience. I felt like a professor in a laboratory, just crafting stuff and adding this, and putting this on and moving the microphone, and it was very homemade.
Paul McCartney
Personal differences, musical differences, business differences, but most of all because I have a better time with my family.
Paul McCartney
