More quotes by Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney
You've got to believe in yourself. ..it really is true, because that's one thing about the Beatles...Man, we believed in ourselves. We knew we were good.
Paul McCartney
To this day, if I ever meet grownups who play ukulele, I love 'em.
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

Paul McCartney
There will be no wardrobe malfunction with me. I can promise you that.... I have nothing I will be exposing or taking off.
Paul McCartney
All we ever got in those [early] days was Where are you from? Liverpool? You'll have to be in London before you can do it. Nobody's ever done it from Liverpool.
Paul McCartney
But with writers, there's nothing wrong with melancholy. It's an important color in writing.
Paul McCartney
For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun...
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 support decriminalisation. People are smoking pot anyway and to make them into criminals is wrong. It's when you're in jail you really become a criminal.
Paul McCartney
It's like there was me, then the Beatles phase, and now I'm me again.
Paul McCartney
My thing is about following the accidental, more than trying to paint an accurate bowl of apples. I enjoy most following the paint. It leads me somewhere else. I think I enjoy just letting the magic unfold and letting the spirit of the paint tell me where we're going.
Paul McCartney
When we were kids growing up in Liverpool, all we ever wanted to be was Elvis Presley.
Paul McCartney
I've got to admit it's getting better. It's a little better all the time.
Paul McCartney
I'm actually doing what I want with my life. I do sometime think I could just shut up and rest on my laurels and say: you know what guys, I'll operate out of the pocket you put me in.... but no way! No way I'm gonna do that! I'd just get bored stiff the first minute.
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
