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
America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.
Ringo Starr
Beatles, women and children first!

Take a dose of rock and roll, and wash it down with cool clear soul.
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
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've never broken a bone in my life, or in my body.
Ringo Starr
I feel as though that was someone else playing. I was possessed!
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 play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.
Ringo Starr
I've never really done anything to create what has happened. It creates itself. I'm here because it happened. But I didn't do anything to make it happen apart from saying 'Yes'
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
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've said this over and over again, but I love being in a band.
Ringo Starr
People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know.
Ringo Starr
I like playing with a live band and I've got my act and we're fine.
Ringo Starr
Roy Orbison was the only act that The Beatles didn't want to follow.
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
I've never had any big ideas about being the solo.
Ringo Starr
