Paul Mccartney's quotes

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
I figure I've probably got a better chance of coming up with a good Paul McCartney song than Oasis has.
[on his LSD experience] "It's like taking an aspirin without having a headache."
I'm not religious, but I'm very spiritual.
Somebody said to me, [The Beatles] were anti-materialistic.' That's a huge myth. [John Lennon] and I literally used to sit down and say, 'Now, let's write a swimming pool.'
I don't take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don't mind.
We didn't all get into music for a job! We got into music to avoid a job, in truth - and get lots of girls.
I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.
If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.
The two of us were on fire every time we sat down to write.
When we were kids, George [George Harrison] and I used to hang out and we had, we had one little party piece which was to show that we weren't stupid, so we used to do this thing by Bach that was our own little version of it, and we got it wrong,
It's a drag, isn't it? [on John Lennon's murder]
I thought she was a cold woman. I think that's wrong. She's just the opposite. I think she's just more determined than most people to be herself. [on his updated feelings about Yoko Ono, 1995]
Seeing that so many inaccurate stories have been written at the moment about [Heather Mills] and myself, all I can ask people to do is not believe them and understand that most of what is coming out is made up and entirely false. Thanks for your support.
[About dealing with the memory of Linda McCartney today] "She's all around me, you know. And everybody I know knows her and remembers her. And so I talk a lot about her."
I am the proudest dad in the world. I thought that it was brilliant, and Stella has come such a long way since she first started out. [Following daughter Stella McCartney's graduation fashion show, June 1995]
"No one is musically educated until they have heard The Beach Boys' 'Pet Sounds'".
[on making movies] "It's not a bad way to get through an afternoon".
(Recalling raising his children in the 1970s)There was one moment where they were riding their little ponies in Scotland, and Stella [Stella McCartney] said to me: 'Dad! You're Paul McCartney, aren't you?' 'Yes darling, but I'm Daddy really'.
Everybody at EMI had become part of the furniture. I'd be a couch; Coldplay are an armchair. Robbie Williams, I dread to think what he was. (On leaving EMI, his record label of 45 years)
(about filing the lawsuit that dissolved the Beatles's legal partnership) I felt like an arse, suing my best mates and being *seen* to sue my best mates.
On his childhood home now part of the National Trust: It gets dangerous when you start believing your own legacy. That's why I've not gone back.
On his vetting every photo taken by his hired photographers: I just don't like to see terrible photos of myself...it's straightforward vanity. You tell me someone who wants to see terrible photos of themselves.
I've learnt to compartmentalise. There's me and there's famous Him. I don't want to sound schizophrenic, but probably I'm two people. I'm the guy who does shows ... but I'm also the guy who goes home to the kids. There I am just Dad.
Somebody said to me, 'But The Beatles were anti-materialistic.' That's a huge myth. John [Lennon] and I literally used to sit down and say, 'Now, let's write a swimming pool.
I used to feel sorry in a way for Elvis when he was in Vegas 'cos he'd have about 50 people on stage with him and it didn't sound any better than his early records when there were three people on it.
Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing.
If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat. It's staggering when you think about it. Vegetarianism takes care of so many things in one shot: ecology, famine, cruelty.
On his knighthood in 1997: It's a fantastic honor and I am very gratefully receiving it on behalf of all the people of Liverpool and the other Beatles, without whom it wouldn't have been possible.
[on owning a Rolls Royce with black windows] I'm going to get a bicycle with black windows.
[February 2013]: My grandkids always beat me at Rock Band. And I say, Listen, you may beat me at Rock Band, but I made the original records, so shut up.
I'm not a big social media person. I'm "social" but not "social media". When I've got time off and I'm at home, I've got a farm in England. I'd rather be out riding my horse in the woods than looking at a little screen.
[on songwriting] We were the biggest nickers in town. Plagiarists extraordinaire.
