More quotes by Paul McCartney
It's nice to have a little bit of art to fall back on.
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
We don't eat anything that has to be killed for us.
Paul McCartney
John could write a mean song. He had a lot of venom in him. Whereas I had a happy childhood.
Paul McCartney
I don't take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don't mind.
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
Microphones are just like people, if you shout at them, they get scared.
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
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
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
When you're wide awake say it for goodness sake, it's gonna be a great day.
Paul McCartney
Being in the audience actually looks like quite a lot of fun.
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
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
Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing.
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
If children are studying the 20th century, I'm in their text books.
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
It comes in handy in situations like that. People always expect you to be riding around in stretch limousines all the time, but I will sometimes take public transportation if it's convenient, and it does surprise people, you see the heads turn.
Paul McCartney
I would quite like to have been a 1920s writer.
Paul McCartney
