More quotes by Ringo Starr
That's when we decided to stop in '66. Everyone thought we toured for years, you know, but we didn't. I joined in '62, and we'd finished touring in '66 to go into the studio where we could hear each other... and create any fantasy that came out of anybody's brain.
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
When they come here, the English make a choice: New York or L.A. L.A. suited me better, I just feel comfortable here.
Ringo Starr
I don't particularly like messages, because everybody takes whatever they take from whatever.
Ringo Starr
America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.
Ringo Starr
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.
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
I've always felt that a space is as good as a fill.
Ringo Starr
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.
Ringo Starr
I get on with kids and I feel that's because I am one.
Ringo Starr
I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.
Ringo Starr
I'm nervous ahead of every gig. I feel like running away three seconds before I'm due on stage. But I'm all right as soon as I get the mic in my hand.
Ringo Starr
I want to deal with what's in front of me now to the best of my abilities, and sometimes that's not very good. But a lot of the days it is really great.
Ringo Starr
I'd like to end up sort ofunforgettable.
Ringo Starr
The trouble with leaving your feet on the ground is you never get to take your pants off.
Ringo Starr
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.
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 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
