“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!”
Paul McCartney“Bruce has always been so nice to me, which is crazy, because he's one of my heroes. I'll never forget being at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony the year Bruce and Paul McCartney were inducted. We were at the bar, and Bruce was talking to Paul, and he turned to me and said, 'I can't believe I'm talking to Paul McCartney!' I thought, 'I can't believe I'm talking to Bruce Springsteen, who's talking to Paul McCartney!”
Melissa Etheridge“Take these broken wings and learn to fly.”
Paul McCartney, Blackbird Singing: Poems and Lyrics, 1965-1999“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.”
Paul McCartney“My dad was a particularly polite kind of guy, very courteous.”
Paul McCartney“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“It's time to end the cruel slaughter of whales and leave these magnificent creatures alone.”
Paul McCartney“Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing.”
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“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!”
Paul McCartney“Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.”
