When you're wide awake say it for goodness sake, it's gonna be a great day.

I don't ever try to make a serious social comment.

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

It was a period when they used to read into our lyrics a lot, used to think there was more in them than there was.

I should be able to look at my accolades and go, "Come on, Paul. That's enough." But there's still this little voice in the back of my brain that goes, "No, no, no. You could do better. This person over here is excelling. Try harder!" It still can be a little bit intimidating.

I think that selling rights is a bad move commercially, not just morally. It cheapens the songs. When people come to my concerts, they often hold up candles when we do "Let It Be." I don't think they'd do that anymore if the song suddenly became part of an Oldsmobile ad.

I would quite like to have been a 1920s writer.
