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.

There’s nothing as glamorous to me as a record store.

If You can play Your stuff in a pub, then You´re a good band.

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.

I don't work at being ordinary.

It (LSD) opened my eyes. We only use one-tenth of our brain. Just think of what we could accomplish if we could only tap that hidden part! It would mean a whole new world if the politicians would take LSD. There wouldn't be any more war or poverty or famine.

There was one moment where they were riding their little ponies in Scotland, and Stella said to me: 'Dad! You're Paul McCartney, aren't you?' 'Yes darling, but I'm Daddy really'.

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.

When we were kids we always used to say, ‘Okay, whoever dies first, get a message through.’ When John died, I thought, ‘Well, maybe we’ll get a message,’ because I know he knew the deal. I haven’t had a message from John.

If anyone was the Fifth Beatle, it was Brian [Epstein].

The medical argument for animal testing doesn't stand up. Even if it did, I don't think we should kill other species. We think we're so much better; I'm not sure we are. I tell people, We've beaten into submission every animal on the face of the Earth, so we are the clear winners of whatever battle is going on between the species. Couldn't we be generous? I really do think it's time to get nice. No need to keep beating up on them. I think we've got to show that we're kind.

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

I believe that in the future meditation could be as commonplace in schools and society as eco-awareness is now. It interests me that an ancient cure may be the solution to a modern problem.

I still believe that love is all you need. I don't know a better message than that.

I feel like the sixties is about to happen. It feels like a period in the future to me, rather than a period in the past.

A hundred years from now, people will listen to the music of the Beatles the same way we listen to Mozart.

You've got to believe in yourself. ..it really is true, because that's one thing about the Beatles...Man, we believed in ourselves. We knew we were good.

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.

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.

Long live all us crazy soldiers _x000D_ _x000D_ Who were born under calico skies _x000D_ _x000D_ May we never be called to handle _x000D_ _x000D_ All the weapons of war we despise

I am a vegetarian because I realized that even little chickens suffer pain and fear, experience a range of feelings and emotions, and are as intelligent as mammals, including dogs, cats, and even some primates.
