Ne abbiamo passate tante, negli anni sessanta, con tutta la droga e gli amici che morivano come mosche, e adesso siamo arrivati al punto in cui diamo davvero un grande valore alla vita.”

“Uno dei miei più bei ricordi di John è quando ci mettevamo a litigare: io non ero d'accordo con lui su qualcosa e finivamo per insultarci a vicenda. Passavano un paio di secondi e poi lui sollevava un po' gli occhiali e diceva "è solo che sono fatto così…". Per me quello era il vero John. In quei rari momenti lo vedevo senza la sua facciata, quell'armatura che io amavo così tanto, esattamente come tutti gli altri. Era un armatura splendida; ma era davvero straordinario quando sollevava la visiera e lasciava intravedere quel John Lennon che aveva paura di rivelare al mondo.”

Paul McCartney

“Penso che ci sia l'urgenza di fermare la terribile fugacità del tempo. Con la musica, la pittura… cercate di catturare anche un solo attimo maledetto, prego!”

Paul McCartney Frasi e Citazioni

“Sii fedele a te stesso'. Penso che questa frase si adattasse bene ai Beatles. Eravamo sempre molto fedeli a noi stessi, e penso che la nostra brutale onestà fosse importante. Continuare per la nostra strada, e dire davvero quello che pensavamo, in un certo senso ha dato ad altre persone nel mondo l'idea che anche loro potessero essere sinceri e cavarsela, ed è stata davvero una buona cosa.”

Paul McCartney

“[Parlando dell'album dei Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band] L'atmosfera dell'album era in sintonia con lo spirito di quel periodo, perché noi stessi eravamo permeati da quello spirito. Non intendevamo fare di tutto per dargli quell'armosfera, semplicemente c'eravamo dentro. E non è stato solo il clima del periodo a influenzarci; ho cercato dei riferimenti che fossero più estremi. L'atmosfera del tempo assomigliava di più ai Move o agli Status Quo o gruppi del genere. Invece oltre a tutto ciò, c'era quello spirito d'avanguardia che penso sia entrato in Pepper. Era decisamente un movimento di popolo. Voglio dire, noi non stavamo cercando di alimentare quel movimento, noi ne eravamo parte, come lo eravamo sempre stati. Ritengo che i Beatles non siano stati i leader di una generazione, ma i suoi portavoce.”

Paul McCartney

Origine: Citato in The Beatles Anthology, Rizzoli, Milano, 2010, p. 253.

“Era domenica, stavamo mangiando agnello arrosto per pranzo ed era la stagione degli agnelli, con tutti quei meravigliosi agnellini che saltellavano qua e là nel pascolo. Al che abbiamo guardato l'agnello nel piatto, poi di nuovo gli agnellini là fuori e abbiamo pensato: "Stiamo mangiando una di quelle creaturine che sgambettano allegramente qua fuori". La cosa ci stese, e ci siamo detti: "Aspetta un attimo, non vogliamo mica fare una cosa del genere". Eccola qua, la svolta epocale: non abbiamo mai più mangiato carne.”

Paul McCartney

“[Sui Beatles] Non arriveremo mai al punto di pubblicare delle schifezze, perché sappiamo che la gente le comprerebbe.”

and if she's beside me I know I need never care.

"When I'm Sixty-Four" from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)
Lyrics, The Beatles

“We're constantly being asked all sorts of very profound questions. But we're not very profound people. People say, 'What do you think of the H-bomb, of religion, of fan worship?' But we didn't really start thinking about these things until people asked us. And even then we didn't get much time to consider them. What do I think of the H-bomb? Well, here's an answer with the full weight of five O levels and one A level behind it: I don't agree with it.”

I didn't want to spread it or anything, you know. I'm not trying to do anything except answer his question. But he happened to be a reporter, and I happened to be a Beatle.”

“I really wish the people that look sort of in anger at the 'weirdos,' at the happenings, at the psychedelic freak-out, would instead of just looking with anger, just look with nothing; with no feeling; be unbiased about it. They really don't realize that what these people are talking about is something that they really want themselves. It's something that everyone wants. You know, it's personal freedom to be able to talk and be able to say things And it's dead straight! It's a real sort of basic pleasure for everyone. But it looks weird from the outside.”

“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.”

Paul McCartney

We opened the Indica gallery with John Dunbar, Peter Asher and people like that. I heard about people like John Cage, and that he’d just performed a piece of music called 4’33” (which is completely silent) during which if someone in the audience coughed he would say, ‘See?’ Or someone would boo and he’d say, ‘See? It’s not silence—it’s music.’ I was intrigued by all of that. So these things started to be part of my life. I was listening to Stockhausen; one piece was all little plink-plonks and interesting ideas. Perhaps our audience wouldn’t mind a bit of change, we thought, and anyway, tough if they do! We only ever followed our own noses—most of the time, anyway. ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ was one example of developing an idea.
The Beatles Anthology (2000), p. 212
