Paul McCartney
I'm mad, you know? I don't think of retiring at all.
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
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
I'm a pretty hands-on dad and make the most of my custody. I take care of my little one whenever I can, and she determines what I can do and where I can do it.
Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney
There are a lot of artists who haven't lost anything to domesticity. In my case, it probably did happen.
Paul McCartney
I definitely did look up to John. We all looked up to John. He was older and he was very much the leader he was the quickest wit and the smartest.
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
There must be a better way to make the things we want, a way that doesn't spoil the sky, or the rain or the land
Paul McCartney
Sometimes you write a song in a certain era and it's got a certain kind of significance.
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
