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

I met The Beatles while we were playing in Germany. We'd seen them in Liverpool, but they were a nothing little band then, just putting it together. In fact, they weren't really a band at all.

I love being in a band. I love playing with other human beings. I've never practiced drums unless there was another human being in the room.

The kids are interested in the music of them. They're not interested in mop-tops and Beatle boots and crazy suits. It's all down to the music now - that's what they hear, and that's what they love.

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.

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.

Ten years from now, it'll all be the blues because that's the only speed I'll be able to play

I've always been playing with other people, and that's how I learned. I got a kit of drums I couldn't play, but I also knew a guitarist and a friend of mine played bass and could teach us bass, and we just played. And I learned.

I like Beethoven, especially the poems.

I'm warning you with peace and love I have too much to do. So no more fan mail. Thank you, thank you. And no objects to be signed, nothing. Peace and love, peace and love.
Ringo Starr

I don't particularly like messages, because everybody takes whatever they take from whatever.
Ringo Starr
Image
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.
Ringo Starr
Image
No, no, no, I don't snort no more, I'm tired of waking up on the floor. No thank you please, it only makes me sneeze, then it makes it hard to find the door.

Believe me, I wish this song was yours instead of mine.

I couldn't put my finger on one reason why we broke up. It was time, and we were spreading out. They were spreading out more than I was. I would've stayed with the band.

I like playing with a live band and I've got my act and we're fine.

In 1989 I sort of got back into the music business and one of the reasons I got back in is [that] I put the first All Stars band together. It's actually progressed from that every other year, or every two years, I've put that together...more and more realizing that's what I do.

If you made a record, I'd probably pick out tracks that I like and download that. That's just how it is.
