More quotes by 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
I've said this over and over again, but I love being in a band.
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
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
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.
Ringo Starr
So this is America. They must be out of their minds.
Ringo Starr
Beatles, women and children first!
Ringo Starr
I am truly grateful. I'm a grateful human being.
Ringo Starr
I mean, I was born the day war broke out, but I don't remember all the bombs though they did actually break up Liverpool, you know. I remember when I was a little older, there was big gaps in all the streets where houses used to be. We used to play over them.
Ringo Starr
You got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues...And you know it don't come easy.
Ringo Starr
I've never broken a bone in my life, or in my body.
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
We thought we'd be really big in Liverpool.
Ringo Starr
Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.
Ringo Starr
I hope the fans will take up meditation instead of drugs.
Ringo Starr
Roy Orbison was the only act that The Beatles didn't want to follow.
Ringo Starr
I don't particularly like messages, because everybody takes whatever they take from whatever.
Ringo Starr
I play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.
Ringo Starr
I'm not sleeping with all the women I appear with.
Ringo Starr
Gene Autry was the most. It may sound like a joke - Go and have a look in my bedroom, It's covered with Gene Autry posters. He was my first musical influence.
