More quotes by 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
My message is a peaceful one and I hope that the idea will spread.

Paul McCartney
In some ways we live in a world where things appear to be very logical, very rational, and mechanical aspects of our world are rather scientific and rather straightforward.
Paul McCartney
I do have a spongelike ear or mentality or whatever you call it, but it's probably a bit subconscious.
Paul McCartney
At the office where the paper grows, she takes a break, drinks another coffee, and she finds it hard to stay awake. It's just another day.
Paul McCartney
Trumpets are a bit more adventurous they're drunk! Trumpeters are generally drunk. It wets their whistle.
Paul McCartney
We were a savage little lot, Liverpool kids, not pacifist or vegetarian or anything. But I feel I've gone beyond that, and that it was immature to be so prejudiced and believe in all the stereotypes.
Paul McCartney
But with writers, there's nothing wrong with melancholy. It's an important color in writing.
Paul McCartney
I've got to admit it's getting better. It's a little better all the time.
Paul McCartney
As far as art's concerned, I probably like modern art more than traditional art.

I'm not religious, but I'm very spiritual.
Paul McCartney
