Sir Paul McCartney Biography

On himself:

“I’m not religious, but I’m very spiritual.”

“I figure I’ve probably got a better chance of coming up with a good Paul McCartney song than Oasis has”.

“I don’t take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don’t mind.”

On The Beatles:

“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.”

“Somebody said to me that 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'."

“The two of us were on fire every time we sat down to write.”

On John Lennon’s killing:

“It’s a drag, isn’t it?”

On family:

“I am the proudest dad in the world. I thought it was brilliant, and Stella has come such a long way since she first started out.” (On his daughter Stella’s graduation fashion show).

“Linda is all around me, you know. And everybody I know knows her, and remembers her. And so I talk a lot about her.”
