Paul McCartney

I don't work at being ordinary.

So, if I'm cooking, I'll be steaming vegetables, making some nice salad, that kind of stuff.

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.'

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.

I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists. They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me.
