More quotes by 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
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
You're always looking at last year, or 10 years ago, or your school days, or your teenage years, your formative years. Because that's exactly what they are, they're your formative years.
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
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
When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.
Paul McCartney
I'm not really comfortable singing without accompanying myself on stage - I'm not used to it.
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
My mum died when I was 14. That is a kind of strange age to lose a mother. John lost his mum when he was 17.
Paul McCartney
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you, Tomorrow I'll miss you.
Paul McCartney
Paul's last words to Linda: You're up on your beautiful Appaloosa stallion. It's a fine spring day. We're riding through the woods. The bluebells are all out, and the sky is clear-blue.
Paul McCartney
Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing.
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
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
John could write a mean song. He had a lot of venom in him. Whereas I had a happy childhood.
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
George wrote Taxman, and I played guitar on it. He wrote it in anger at finding out what the taxman did. He had never known before then what could happen to your money.
Paul McCartney
Alas, it looks like those unsubstantiated rumours about me are about to come true after all this time.
Paul McCartney
Every time I felt low, I just put on an Elvis record and I'd feel great, beautiful.
Paul McCartney
When two great saints meet, it's a humbling experience.
Paul McCartney
