Speaking to NME during an exclusive Absolute Scenes interview about the project (shown above), Howard said: “I really related to and respected Paul McCartney. What a work ethic. He loves it.

“I feel that way about directing. I feel that way about telling stories.”

While making the documentary, Howard explained that he gained a further appreciation of the band’s songwriting.
