  • By the time we made "Abbey Road", John and I were openly critical of each other's music, and I felt John wasn't much interested in performing anything he hadn't written himself
  • 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 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.
  • We probably seem to be anti-religious...none of us believes in God.
    • Hit Parader, January 1970
  • I now realize that taking drugs was like taking an aspirin without having a headache.
  • 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.
  • It [LSD] opened my eyes. We only use one-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.
  • It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard "Heartbreak Hotel" I thought, this is it.
  • She's absolutely gorgeous. Heather and I are having a wonderful time. I could go on for hours and drag the photographs out, but I'd never get back to the studio.
    • about his daughter, Beatrice McCartney
  • 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.
  • We did it this way because both John and I had a number of songs which were great as they were but which we'd never finished.
  • We don't eat anything that has to be killed for us. We've been through a lot and we've reached a stage where we really value life.
