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.

More quotes by Paul McCartney
I've got to admit it's getting better. It's a little better all the time.
Paul McCartney
Love Me Do, the first song we recorded, John was supposed to sing the lead, but they changed their minds and asked me to sing lead because they wanted John to play harmonica.
Paul McCartney
As far as art's concerned, I probably like modern art more than traditional art.
Paul McCartney
I don't ever try to make a serious social comment.
Paul McCartney
The willow turns his back on inclement weather. And if he can do it, we can do it.
Paul McCartney
Everybody's talking about the President, we all chipped in for a bag of cement.
Paul McCartney
To this day, if I ever meet grownups who play ukulele, I love 'em.
Paul McCartney
I love to hear a choir. I love the humanity... to see the faces of real people devoting themselves to a piece of music. I like the teamwork. It makes me feel optimistic about the human race when I see them cooperating like that.
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 feel that if I said anything about John, I would have to sit here for five days and say it all. Or I don't want to say anything.
Paul McCartney
When two great saints meet, it's a humbling experience.
Paul McCartney
One of my biggest thrills for me still is sitting down with a guitar or a piano and just out of nowhere trying to make a song happen.
Paul McCartney
Looking back, I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical, and I think my mom was musical.
Paul McCartney
I do like Eddie Van Halen as a player. He gets it right quite often.
Paul McCartney
To get a big hit single you've got to go a bit dance. You've got to go a bit Britney. I don't think I can do that - well, I could but it wouldn't look very seemly!.
Paul McCartney
I think it's something to do with the structural quality of the songs. We weren't actually trying to make stuff that was cool, or of the moment, although a lot of it was. We were trying to make stuff that was good enough to stick around and lo and behold, it has.
Paul McCartney
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.
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
There is good and bad in everyone.
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
