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.

More quotes by Ringo Starr
I am truly grateful. I'm a grateful human being.
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've never gone to the bedroom when I was starting out and practiced away.
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
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.
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 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 like playing with a live band and I've got my act and we're fine.
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'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
My soul is that of a drummer.... I didn't do it to become rich and famous. I did it because it was the love of my life.
Ringo Starr
The point is it is amazing that the generations have joined in the Beatle madness and love the music. Who knew?
Ringo Starr
I mean, women are very important to me. I don't know, they just drive me crazy.
Ringo Starr
I'd like to be in a man band, but with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Keith Richards. We'd have a rocky edge.
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've said this over and over again, but I love being in a band.
Ringo Starr
I've never had any big ideas about being the solo.
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
Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.
Ringo Starr
I'm not sleeping with all the women I appear with.
Ringo Starr
