- "It's hard to follow my own act. But the only answer to that would be to give up after the Beatles. I only had 2 choices. Give up or carry on."
- "With 2 guitarists, with John and George, it was always John saying, "Put that (his amp) up a bit" and then George would come in and put his up a bit, then George Martin would be saying, "can you turn the Amps down please?" and John would look at George and say, "how much are you going down?", Let's go down to five, alright?", and John would go down to six. "ok, I'm at five!" "you bugger, you're not, you're at six!" There was always this terrible rivalry."
- "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."
- "I'm really glad that most of songs were about love, peace, and understanding."
- Reporter: "Are you going to have a leading lady for the film you're about to make?"
Paul: "We're trying to get the Queen. She'll sell in England, you know."
- Press: "Who thought up the name Beatles?"
Paul: "I thought of it."
Press: "Why?"
Paul: "Why not?"
- "At the beginning I was annoyed with John, jealous because of Yoko, and afraid about the breakup of a great musical partnership. It took me a year to realize they were in love."
- "To me, the Beatles will always be just a great little rock 'n' roll band, nothing more, nothing less. The difference bewteen the Beatles and all the other great rock bands is that the Beatles just happened to make it big."
- "I now realize that taking drugs was like taking an aspirin without having a headache."
- During the Paul is dead phase: "I'm dead am I? Why does nobody ever tell me anything?"
- "It (LSD) opened my eyes. We only use on-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's a lot of random in our songs...writing, thinking, letting others think of bits-then bam, you've the jigsaw puzzle."
- "We've already bought all our dreams. We want to share that possibility with others. When we were touring, and when the adoration and hysteria were at a peak, if we'd been the shrewdoperators we were often made out to be, we might have thought -- that's nice! Ah. Click. Let's use this for own evil ends. But there's no desire in any of our heads to take over theworld. That was Hitler. That's what he wanted to do. There is, however, a desire to get power in order to use it for good."
- "There is one thing I used to regret and feel guilty about. When Ringo joined us I used to act all big time with him because I'd been in the business a bit longer and felt superior. I was a know-all. I'd been in the sixth form and thought I'd read a bit, you know. I began putting him off me, and me off me."
- "It's great, it sold, it's the bloody Beatles White Album, shut up!"
- "The thing is, we're all really the same person. We're just four parts of the one."
