Gaps can be very emotional. I mean, that's in my drumming. When I drum, you know, I don't need to drum all over the track. I play with the singer and I can back off.

Drumming is my middle name.

I'm always good for starting a bit of a tune and the first verse, but after that I just can never go anywhere. It takes me years, that's why I'm so slow.
Ringo Starr
Image
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.

I don't like talking. It's how I'm built. Some people gab all day and some play it smogo. I don't mind talking or smiling, it's just I don't do it very much. I haven't got a smiling face or a talking mouth.

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.

Every time, my syncopation is different, because I can never play the same fill twice. I just can't, never have been able to. Even as a Beatle, they'd say, 'Oh, double-track that.' I don't know how you do that, because when I'm in a fill I'm sort of this blackout, just this pure me coming out and I can't pure me the same, twice. So, that's that.

Well, I'm getting happier all the time, which is very nice.

I hate click tracks. I'm to busy in the click track to feel my own heart rhythm, my own soul beat.

I'm not sleeping with all the women I appear with.
Ringo Starr

I mean, women are very important to me. I don't know, they just drive me crazy.

Roy Orbison was the only act that The Beatles didn't want to follow.

I get on with kids and I feel that's because I am one.

First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.
Ringo Starr
Image
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.

I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.

I'd like to end up sort ofunforgettable.

Every night there's a moment that I just wanna go back to bed. I just get nervous. Then I run on (stage) and as soon as I grab the mic then I'm fine.

The point is it is amazing that the generations have joined in the Beatle madness and love the music. Who knew?

When I'm ninety-five and it's 'This is Your Life' time, they'll still be referring to me as 'ex-Beatle'...it does have it's advantages. It's still the best way to get a good table at a resturant.
