More quotes by Paul McCartney
Love Me Do, the first song we recorded, John was supposed to sing the lead, but they changed their minds and asked me to sing lead because they wanted John to play harmonica.
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 hate the idea of success robbing you of your private life.
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
It's like there was me, then the Beatles phase, and now I'm me again.
Paul McCartney
I'm not religious, but I'm very spiritual.
Paul McCartney
Somewhere down the line everyone must pay for their misdeeds.
Paul McCartney
Sadness isn't sadness. It's happiness in a black jacket. Tears are not tears. They're balls of laughter dipped in salt. Death is not death. It's life that's jumped off a tall cliff.
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
Sometimes you write a song in a certain era and it's got a certain kind of significance.
Paul McCartney
John could write a mean song. He had a lot of venom in him. Whereas I had a happy childhood.
Paul McCartney
The good Lord made this world and everything that's in it. The way I see it, baby, you got to love it to the limit.
Paul McCartney
I'm always writing songs, and I've got a bunch that I want to record.
Paul McCartney
When I see bacon, I see a pig, I see a little friend, and that's why I can't eat it. Simple as that.
Paul McCartney
Going to do it to you sweet banana, like it's never been done, and we'll get high, high, high, in the mid-day sun.
Paul McCartney
I took my brains out and stretched them on the rack, now I'm not too sure I'm gonna get them back.
Paul McCartney
I would quite like to have been a 1920s writer.
Paul McCartney
Hamburg totally wrecked us. I remember getting home to England and my dad thought I was half-dead. I looked like a skeleton, I hadn't noticed the change, I'd been having such a ball!
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
I do like Eddie Van Halen as a player. He gets it right quite often.
