Looking back, I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical, and I think my mom was musical.

My dad was a particularly polite kind of guy, very courteous.

My so-called career is a haphazard thing.

Putting two songs together, I've always loved that trick when it works.

So, if I'm cooking, I'll be steaming vegetables, making some nice salad, that kind of stuff.

Paul McCartney 309 quotes

Someone like John would want to end the Beatle period and start the Yoko period. He wouldn't like either to interfere with the other.

You see, my mother was a district nurse until she died when I was 14, and we used to move from time to time because of her work.

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.

We were a savage little lot, Liverpool kids, not pacifist or vegetarian or anything. But I feel I've gone beyond that, and that it was immature to be so prejudiced and believe in all the stereotypes.

She is the rock 'n' roll queen. Weirdly enough, that is one of the things her reign will be remembered for. Queen Elizabeth I, we remember Raleigh; Queen Elizabeth II it's gonna be the Beatles.

The Stones also still have a huge following. Mick Jagger leaps around like a crazy dude. And Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts are playing great too.

Paul McCartney 309 quotes

To keep the record straight, i...

To keep the record straight, it wasn't always John and Yoko. We've all accused one another of various business things; we tend to be pretty paranoid by now, as you can imagine. There's a lot of money involved.

Paul McCartney 309 quotes

We were pretty good mates until the Beatles started to split up and Yoko came into it. It was more like old army buddies splitting up on account of wedding bells.

Paul McCartney 309 quotes

Where I come from, you don't really talk about how much you're earning. Those things are private. My dad never told my mum how much he was earning. I'm certainly not going to tell the world. I'm doing well.

My message is a peaceful one and I hope that the idea will spread.

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 309 quotes

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.

That's the terrible thing about growing up. You lose friends. It's inevitable. It's not like it's a surprise. But it is terrible.

Paul McCartney 309 quotes

Life is an energy field, a bun...

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 309 quotes

In Liverpool we'd only done one-hour sessions. In Hamburg we had to play for eight hours. We played very loud, bang, bang, all the time. The Germans loved it.
