PAUL MCCARTNEY: I was always frightened of classical music. And I never wanted to listen to it.

PAUL MCCARTNEY: A taxi driver the other day had some sheet music of a Mozart thing,

PAUL MCCARTNEY: And I said, "What's that?" You know, and he said

PAUL MCCARTNEY: "Oh, hoh." "Oh well, that's the high-class stuff. You won't like that." He said

PAUL MCCARTNEY: "No no, you won't like that." I said

PAUL MCCARTNEY: "Well, what is it?', you know. He said "Oh no, you won't like it. You know, it's high-class, that." And uh, that kind of way I always used to think of it. I used to think "Well you know, that's very clever, all that stuff." And it isn't! You know, it's just exactly what's going on in pop at the moment.

PAUL MCCARTNEY: Pop music is the classical music of now.
