Paul McCartney Looks Quotations

I am quite happy that the Beatles came and went. There is even a sort of glory in not having it go on forever. There is a complete body of work that went from A to Z and it is all pretty damn good stuff. The one thing I am particularly proud of is that nearly every single bit of it has some good message. I feel fortunate when I look back. Life is not easy, but I've been very lucky - and I'm touching wood as I say that.

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.

Alas, it looks like those unsubstantiated rumours about me are about to come true after all this time...

I didn't earn that much in record royalties. You've only got to look at my sales in 1980 to figure that one out.

The ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty.

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.

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.

To get a big hit single you've got to go a bit dance. You've got to go a bit Britney. I don't think I can do that - well, I could but it wouldn't look very seemly!.

It's also not unusual for writers to look backward. Because that's your pool of resources.

Being in the audience actually looks like quite a lot of fun.

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.
