More quotes by Ringo Starr
I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.
Ringo Starr
I hope the fans will take up meditation instead of drugs.
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
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'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
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.
Ringo Starr
Ten years from now, it'll all be the blues because that's the only speed I'll be able to play
Ringo Starr
Roy Orbison was the only act that The Beatles didn't want to follow.
Ringo Starr
I'm not going to say anything because nobody believes me when I do.
Ringo Starr
I love that about the Beatles, that the music is still going on more than the haircut, you know.
Ringo Starr
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've never had any big ideas about being the solo.
Ringo Starr
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.
Ringo Starr
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.
Ringo Starr
Beatles, women and children first!
Ringo Starr
I never studied anything, really. I didn't study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage.
Ringo Starr
I hate click tracks. I'm to busy in the click track to feel my own heart rhythm, my own soul beat.
Ringo Starr
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.
Ringo Starr
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
I'd like to end up sort ofunforgettable.
Ringo Starr
