More quotes by Ringo Starr
I'm nervous ahead of every gig. I feel like running away three seconds before I'm due on stage. But I'm all right as soon as I get the mic in my hand.
Ringo Starr
I'm on my feet and I'm doing what I love to do, and I'm in a profession, as a musician, where we can go on for as long as we can go on.
Ringo Starr
Believe me, I wish this song was yours instead of mine.
Ringo Starr
I hope the fans will take up meditation instead of drugs.
Ringo Starr
I've never been able to sit round on my own and play drums, practice in the back room, never been able to. I've always played with other musicians. It's how I play, there's no joy for me in playing on my own, bashing away. I need a bass, a piano, guitar, whatever, and then I can play.
Ringo Starr
The trouble with leaving your feet on the ground is you never get to take your pants off.
Ringo Starr
If you made a record, I'd probably pick out tracks that I like and download that. That's just how it is.
Ringo Starr
When you're in a band - before it got to grunge - you dressed the bit. So yeah, I've always had an attitude with the clothes.
Ringo Starr
And in a marriage you can't TRY and be married. You're married or you're not married... as far as I'm concerned.
Ringo Starr
I play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.
Ringo Starr
That's when we decided to stop in '66. Everyone thought we toured for years, you know, but we didn't. I joined in '62, and we'd finished touring in '66 to go into the studio where we could hear each other... and create any fantasy that came out of anybody's brain.
Ringo Starr
I've never had any big ideas about being the solo.
Ringo Starr
First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.
Ringo Starr
America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.
Ringo Starr
I know when I feel good when I play. There's a closeness with musicians you only get from playing live, even in the studio it's still playing live. For me, it's what expands my soul.
Ringo Starr
I think we should have understanding and love and peace. I mean, peace and love has been my situation. You hear that in the song. I'm trying to promote that now: peace and love and understanding.
Ringo Starr
We will miss George for his sense of love, his sense of music and his sense of laughter.
Ringo Starr
I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.
Ringo Starr
My soul is that of a drummer.... I didn't do it to become rich and famous. I did it because it was the love of my life.
Ringo Starr
I don't collect any memorabilia. I wish I'd have kept everything I had. But who knew you had to keep it. Just gave it away. And we lost so much and we didn't look after a lot of it.
Ringo Starr
