And so we went away to play, and we'd come back to Liverpool. And while we were doing this - 'cuz we did it for two years. And then we'd go to Germany, and that's where I met the Beatles.

More quotes by Ringo Starr
I think the most exciting thing is that you expect people our age to know the music, but actually a lot of kids know the music, and if anything is left, we have left really good music, and that's the important part, not the mop-tops or whatever.
Ringo Starr
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.
Ringo Starr
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.
Ringo Starr
I have no anonymity.I've not had a drink in nine and a half years. That's my whole story right there.
Ringo Starr
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Ringo Starr
Last night I had a peace dream.
Ringo Starr
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.
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'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
I made all my mistakes playing with people.
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
I've never gone to the bedroom when I was starting out and practiced away.
Ringo Starr
I love that about the Beatles, that the music is still going on more than the haircut, you know.
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
I've said this over and over again, but I love being in a band.
Ringo Starr
I never studied anything, really. I didn't study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage.
Ringo Starr
So this is America. They must be out of their minds.
Ringo Starr
I'm not sleeping with all the women I appear with.
Ringo Starr
People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know.
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
