Paul McCartney Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Paul McCartney:

I definitely did look up to John. We all looked up to John. He was older and he was very much the leader; he was the quickest wit and the smartest.

I had this song called Helter Skelter, which is just a ridiculous song. So we did it like that, 'cuz I like noise.

I have not practiced how to be a singer without an instrument.

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.

Paul McCartney

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

I feel that if I said anything about John, I would have to sit here for five days and say it all. Or I don't want to say anything.

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

George Martin, he's very good at a very sort of lush, sweet arrangement.

Paul McCartney

There are only four people who knew what the Beatles were about anyway.

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

It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard 'Heartbreak Hotel' I thought, this is it.

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.

Paul McCartney

In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Paul McCartney

I'm often reading a magazine and hearing about someone's new record, and I think, 'Oh, boy, that's gonna be better than me.' It's a very common thing.

Paul McCartney

Love is all you need.

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.'

Paul McCartney

Think globally, act locally.

Paul McCartney

I definitely did look up to John. We all looked up to John. He was older and he was very much the leader; he was the quickest wit and the smartest.

Paul McCartney

None of us wanted to be the bass player. In our minds he was the fat guy who always played at the back.

Paul McCartney

I think the pop industry is still a young man's game.

Paul McCartney

I've got to admit it's getting better. It's a little better all the time.

Paul McCartney

Lyricists play with words.

Paul McCartney

I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough, I only started to get to know her after John's death.

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.

Paul McCartney

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

Paul McCartney

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.

Paul McCartney

I got my first guitar when I was 15, and I just used to fool about with it, more or less, as time went by, though, I got more interested.

Paul McCartney

I think I always had a musicality, and I think I could tell a good song from a bad song. And I would appreciate hearing something that was new to me.

Paul McCartney

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

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.

Paul McCartney

Somewhere down the line everyone must pay for their misdeeds.

Paul McCartney

If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.

Paul McCartney

I don't take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don't mind.

Paul McCartney

At the end of the Beatles, I really was done in for the first time in my life. Until then, I really was a kind of cocky sod.

Paul McCartney

Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.

Paul McCartney

I used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn't weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird.
