Billions of hits and views,\u201d McCartney did concede, \u201cYou\u2019ve got to be careful about saying that, because it makes you sound very old-fashioned,\u201d before adding, \u201cWhich I am.\u201d<br \/><a name=\"cutid1\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThink about it. What were we doing when we started? We\u2019re at school, you go to the careers master and he tells you you\u2019re hopeless \u2013 there\u2019s nothing out there for you. And then you get in a group and start to do well. What is it you\u2019re looking for? Approval. Money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later on the interview he discussed growing up working class and how he stays grounded. <br \/><br \/><i>ONTD, do you have a favorite influencer?
