When I sit down to write a song, it's a kind of improvisation, but I formalize it a bit to get it into the studio, and when I step up to a microphone, I have a vague idea of what I'm about to do.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
I can take pot or leave it. I got busted in Japan for it. I was nine days without it and there wasn't a hint of withdrawal, nothing.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
When we were starting off as kids, just the idea of maybe going to do this as a living instead of getting what we thought was going to be a boring job, was exciting.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
I think people who create and write, it actually does flow-just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they write it down. It's simple.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
I look a lot busier than I am, as I'm actually a rather sporadic, random person and I'll play a few gigs and then disappear for a while.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
I used to think that all my Wings stuff was second-rate stuff, but I began to meet younger kids, not kids from my Beatle generation, who would say, We really love this song.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
My old school in Liverpool is now a performing-arts school, and I kind of teach there - I use the word lightly - but I go there and talk to students.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
I like the idea that people hear my stuff, and if it's commercially successful, that's a good sign that it's being heard.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
Look, people are allowed their own opinions and they don't always coincide with yours. As an artist you just have to keep plugging on.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
It's also not unusual for writers to look backward. Because that's your pool of resources.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
I never look forward, because I have no idea about how any of it happened to getting here. I've no idea how the next five years are going to be.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
When you first get money, you buy all these things so no one thinks you're mean, and you spread it around. You get a chauffeur and you find yourself thrown around the back of this car and you think, I was happier when I had my own little car! I could drive myself!
Quote by -Paul McCartney
I can’t manage without homeopathy. In fact, I never go anywhere without homeopathic remedies. I often make use of them.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window; Why, why, says the junk in the yard.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
I think people who create and write, it actually does flow – just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they right it down. It’s simple.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
For you know that it's a fool who plays it cool, by making his world a little colder.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
Paul's last words to Linda: "You're up on your beautiful Appaloosa stallion. It's a fine spring day. We're riding through the woods. The bluebells are all out, and the sky is clear-blue".
Quote by -Paul McCartney
What I have to say is all in the music. If I want to say anything, I write a song.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
It's like if you're an astronaut and you've been to the moon, what do you want to do with the rest of your life?
Quote by -Paul McCartney
I am alive and well and unconcerned about the rumors of my death. But if I were dead, I would be the last to know.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
Somebody said to me, 'But the Beatles were anti-materialistic.' That's a huge myth. John and I literally used to sit down and say, 'Now, let's write a swimming pool.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
Sadness isn't sadness. It's happiness in a black jacket. Tears are not tears. They're balls of laughter dipped in salt. Death is not death. It's life that's jumped off a tall cliff.
Quote by -Paul McCartney
When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.
