Paul McCartney People Quotations

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.

Microphones are just like people, if you shout at them, they get scared.

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

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.

I like the idea that people hear my stuff, and if it's commercially successful, that's a good sign that it's being heard.

That's not really important what religion people are attached to, because by the same argument I have a lot of Christian friends and Moslem friends. It's just happened that I do have a lot of relatives and friends who are Jewish.

So many times, I will have people tell me what I did when I was younger. There's so much being written [about] the early Beatles period, and even pre-Beatles period. And people will say, "Oh, he did that because that, and that happened because of that." And I'll be reading and think, "Well, that didn't happen" and, "That's not why I did that." Like anyone's history, you remember what went down better than people who weren't there.

With life and all I've been through, I do have a belief in goodness, a good spirit. I think what people have done with religion is personified good and evil, so good's become God with 'o' out, and evil's become Devil with a 'd' added. That's my theory of religion.

I have such an admiration for John [Lennon], like most people. But to be the guy who wrote with him, well that's enough. Right there you could retire and go, 'Jesus I had a fantastic life. Take me, Lord.'

Most people don't know that I invented the selfie.

Criticism didn't really stop us and it shouldn't ever stop anyone, because critics are only the people who can't get a record deal themselves.

Some people don't believe in climate warning - like those who don't believe there was a Holocaust.

Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs

People would say to me, “Hey man, you look just like Paul McCartney”, and I'd say: “I wish I had his money!”

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?

It comes in handy in situations like that. People always expect you to be riding around in stretch limousines all the time, but I will sometimes take public transportation if it's convenient, and it does surprise people, you see the heads turn.

I think [Transcendental Meditation] is what people need. They don't need high minded talk, they need results.

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

Songs have some kind of structure that connects with people`s hearts.

I meet so many people that just sort of say, "I want to thank you for your music. It really helped me" or "It changed my life."
