"mary was just a little kid, a really cute baby. and you know how fathers often fuss over their kids? so i was fussing over her, ‘give me a kiss. come on’ and she’d get fed up with me & go ‘alright, dad. but only one more kiss!’ so i got one more kiss & a song!" - paul mccartney

paul was far more affected by mum’s death than any of us. his very character seemed to change & for a while he behaved like a hermit. he wasn’t very nice to live with at this period. he didn’t seem to care about anything/anybody outside himself. - mike, paul mccartney's brother
