But with writers, there's nothing wrong with melancholy. It's an important color in writing.
From Paul McCartney
My so-called career is a haphazard thing.
I'm often reading a magazine and hearing about someone's new record, and I think, 'Oh, boy, that's gonna be better than me.' It's a very common thing.
One of my biggest thrills for me still is sitting down with a guitar or a piano and just out of nowhere trying to make a song happen.
Someone like John would want to end the Beatle period and start the Yoko period. He wouldn't like either to interfere with the other.
You see, my mother was a district nurse until she died when I was 14, and we used to move from time to time because of her work.
Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.
I think people who create and write, it actually does flow-just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they write it down. It's simple.
I knew the words to 25 rock songs, so I got in the group. Long Tall Sally and Tutti-Frutti, that got me in. That was my audition.
It's also not unusual for writers to look backward. Because that's your pool of resources.
