"Bob Dylan would be lovely [to collaborate with], because I admire him," the former Beatle told Absolute Radio.

Sir Paul also said he hoped that he could arrange a collaboration with David Byrne.

As previously reported, Sir Paul also revealed in the interview how he had to take a shower before collecting his Knighthood from the Queen in 1997.

The singer said he he hadn't washed for two weeks before going to Buckingham Palace to receive the honour.
