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.

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

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

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.

I made all my mistakes playing with people.
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.

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.
Ringo Starr

I never studied anything, really. I didn't study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage.
Ringo Starr
Image
I feel the older I get, the more I'm learning to handle life. Being on this quest for a long time, it's all about finding yourself.

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

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

I've said this over and over again, but I love being in a band.

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 feel as though that was someone else playing. I was possessed!
