Paul McCartney has opened up on his split from the Beatles and says that he may not have handled the breakup as well as he could have.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Sir Paul says that his press statement to announce his solo debut McCartney may have been slightly heavy handed:
"It's possible to read all sorts of other things into it, read all sorts of motives of mine into it, which is I think what happened. For me, it was simply a way to answer some questions I might have been asked if I had done interviews."
The former Beatle adds, however, that he was not trying to start controversy but rather move on with his career quickly:
"I've been accused of not thinking things through enough. I get enthusiastic about something and say I'd like to do it, so let's do it. And that's mainly a good thing, because you get things done. It can occasionally create difficulties because you don't think of the implications. And to me, I hadn't thought of the implications. I was just putting out an album of some stuff that I liked."
"If I had been entirely honest, I just would have said that John has folded the group. But I'm not sure that would have gone down well, either."
