"Nie rozdaję autografów ani podczas zakupów ani podczas kolacji w restauracji !" - zwierza się w najnowszym wywiadzie Paul McCartney dziennikarzowi CNN. "Mówię fanowi: OK, możemy porozmawiać o czym chcesz, np. o zakupach, ale autografu nie będzie. Większość ludzi to rozumie. Wiesz, nagle się okazuje, że nie robię zakupów, nie jem, tylko rozdaję autografy."


CNN: Do you ever feel pressure to perform more Beatles and Wings songs than new ones?

McCartney: You know when you start an album you think, 'Wow, it would be great to just go out and do this,' but you sit down with the realities of a tour and you think, 'OK, we can make people sit through all the new material.' But the truth is, if I was going to see a show of someone I liked -- Neil Young or the Rolling Stones, say -- I want to hear some hits. If I'm going to see the Stones, I want "Satisfaction," "Honky Tonk Women," "Ruby Tuesday." I want at least a few like that.

So if I'm going to see Paul I want "Maybe I'm Amazed," "Let It Be." I'd like "Hey Jude" if he doesn't mind. Maybe throw in "Lady Madonna." And I want "Jet," "Let Me Roll It." I want some Wings things. And I want some new stuff, so we try and mix it up.

CNN: How do you feel about the way the media treats you and fame in general?
.
McCartney: I don't think it's too bad. It became obvious that I was going to be a celebrity because I was in the Beatles and the Beatles were massive. Greece had always been a country where we could escape to on holiday and no one there really knew us, so it was kind of cool. You had your own space.

When I heard that we had gone No. 1 in Greece, I thought, 'Wait a minute. Things are going to change.' So I had to make a decision to go with this thing or get out. Once I made that decision, I worked on being comfortable with it.

People in the street are great, and if people come up to me when I go shopping -- because I go shopping, like anyone -- and I am in the supermarket picking stuff out and someone says, "Can I have your autograph?" I say, "I'm sorry, I don't do that when I am shopping. I'll shake your hand and we'll have a little chat, you know, what are you buying, whatever." We have a moment but I say I don't like to do that because if I do that, someone else is going to ask and I'm suddenly not shopping, I'm signing.

I make myself comfortable with it and I have little rules that I explain to people, "Sorry, I'm shopping" or "I'm eating." Most people respect it. I like the fame because of what you can do for charity ... and I think if your heart is in the right place, you can do a lot of great stuff.

CNN: Do you feel obligated to use your celebrity for the causes you believe in?

McCartney: I would say I feel proud to be able to use it. I don't feel the pressure, but I think (I feel) obligated because I am in this position and I get so much from it and I get so much radiation from people. I think it is a good thing to use that and to say to people, for instance as Heather and I do at the moment, "no more land mines."
