Sir Paul McCartney has admitted he was overbearing and has bought into the criticism that he broke up The Beatles.
The musician, 83, has recently created a new Prime Video documentary, Paul McCartney Man On The Run.
The project follows Paul's extraordinary life following the breakup of The Beatles and his time as a solo artist and a part of his later band, Wings.
But as he reflected on his career in an interview with director Morgan Neville, Paul spoke about how he feels when he is criticised by people.
He remarked: 'Whenever I hear someone damning Paul McCartney, I tend to agree with them.
'So when everyone was saying I broke up the Beatles, and I was just overbearing and all of that, I kind of bought into it.'

This isn't the only time Sir Paul has become emotional when talking about the documentary.
During a screening of the release in London earlier this year, he admitted he felt 'emotional' upon seeing his late wife Linda McCartney in the programme.
Linda, who died in 1998, shared four children with Sir Pau, including Heather, 63, who was adopted, Mary, 56, Stella, 53, and James, 48.
Sir Paul said it helped him deal with the tumultuous time he faced following the break-up of The Beatles.
He said: 'Seeing me and Linda interacting is very special because, you know, she is not here anymore. Me and Linda, the kids. The music. Me and John [Lennon].
'These memories, it is like a life flashing in front of you. There are so many cool things. Even though there are some embarrassing moments, I come out of it thinking, "Yeah, I'm OK".
'All the stuff with the kids and Linda is lovely to see. Obviously, it's emotional because she looks so beautiful. She's so cool.'
It comes after just last month Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Joseph Quinn and Harris Dickinson gave Beatles fans a first glimpse at their upcoming four-part anthology in the first look images.

The actors are working with director Sir Sam Mendes on four ambitious new films about the pioneering group's emergence from Liverpool's vibrant club scene to become the most influential band on the planet.
While controversy has raged about the principal cast's suitability - Mescal will play McCartney, with Dickinson starring as the late John Lennon, Quinn as George Harrison and Keoghan as Ringo Starr - first images of them in character suggest the films are in safe hands.
The Liverpool Institute For Performing Arts (LIPA) - co-founded by McCartney in 1996 - has shared postcards of the actors on set, giving fans an opportunity to judge for themselves.
A first image captures Mescal as a young McCartney, the unmistakable brick walls of Liverpool's legendary Cavern Club visible as he gazes quizzically off-camera.
The band made a name for themselves as the underground club's resident band in the early 1960s, and it was here that the late Brian Epstein was encouraged to become their manager after watching them live for the first time, a decision that would change their lives forever.

It was a look typified by the percussionist in the late '60s, notably as they recorded their self-titled double album - referred to by fans as the 'White Album' - in 1968.
While his hair was styled the same as Ringo Starr's signature 'moptop', the actor also bore a striking facial resemblance to the drummer.
Elsewhere, Quinn appears to be shot as a bearded Harrison towards the end of the band's career, while Dickinson wears the iconic denim jacket and round spectacles favoured by Lennon in 1968.
LIPA captioned the Instagram post: 'We've been given exclusive postcards promoting the new Beatles movies! We've hidden them around LIPA, and we want students to find them.'

Last year, Sony finally confirmed the cast for its four highly anticipated Beatles films following months of speculation, with all four projects set for release in April 2028.
White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood will play Harrison's wife Pattie Boyd, while Irish Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan has been cast as Linda McCartney, the muse to many of McCartney's songs.
Anna Sawai, who has made a name for herself in the US drama series Shogun, will appear as Lennon's wife Yoko Ono, and British actress Mia McKenna-Bruce will play Maureen Cox, the wife of Ringo.
The Daily Mail revealed that the Beatles biopics will be filmed at London's iconic Abbey Road Studios, with production getting underway in November last year despite earlier reports that plans had been blocked.
