Drugs had shown me little bits here and there-they had rolled across the carpet once or twice, but I had been able to get them out of my mind.

More quotes by Paul McCartney
I hate the idea of success robbing you of your private life.
Paul McCartney
There are two things John and I always do when we're going to sit down and write a song. First of all we sit down. Then we think about writing a song.
Paul McCartney
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds actually wasn't meant to say LSD It was a drawing that John's son brought home from school Lucy was a kid in his school.
Paul McCartney
Life is an energy field, a bunch of molecules. And these particular molecules formed to make these four guys, who then formed into this band called the Beatles and did all that work. I have to think that was something metaphysical. Something alchemic. Something that must be thought of as magic.
Paul McCartney
I have always adored Mahler, and Mahler was a major influence on the music of the Beatles. John and me used to sit and do the Kindertotenlieder and Wunderhorn for hours, we'd take turns singing and playing the piano. We thought Mahler was gear.
Paul McCartney
George Martin, he's very good at a very sort of lush, sweet arrangement.
Paul McCartney
I love the past. There are parts of the past I hate, of course.
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 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
Sometimes when you write a thing you think, 'Oh, this is good', and it's not a modesty or an immodesty thing, you just... it's just the same with anything when you write a piece you just figure, 'Oh yeah, I'm on a roll here. This is good I'm getting the hang of this'. Some pieces are better than others.
Paul McCartney
It's a lifelong gift, something you can call on at any time.
Paul McCartney
I don't work at being ordinary.
Paul McCartney
I would quite like to have been a 1920s writer.
Paul McCartney
I believe that in the future meditation could be as commonplace in schools and society as eco-awareness is now. It interests me that an ancient cure may be the solution to a modern problem.
Paul McCartney
I didn't earn that much in record royalties. You've only got to look at my sales in 1980 to figure that one out.
Paul McCartney
John could write a mean song. He had a lot of venom in him. Whereas I had a happy childhood.
Paul McCartney
Sometimes you write a song in a certain era and it's got a certain kind of significance.
Paul McCartney
The ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty.
Paul McCartney
Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing.
Paul McCartney
We got into music to avoid a job, and get lots of girls.
