Paul McCartney Quotes:
"I don't take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don't mind."

I love to hear a choir. I love the humanity to see the faces of real people devoting themselves to a piece of music. I like the teamwork. It makes me feel optimistic about the human race when I see them cooperating like that.

I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.

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

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

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

"Think globally, act locally."

"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."

Pointing out that anything Beatle-related would be an instant hit: "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.'"
