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
Peace and love, peace and love!
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
First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.
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
Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.
Ringo Starr
I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.
Ringo Starr
I feel as though that was someone else playing. I was possessed!
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
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
Beatles, women and children first!
Ringo Starr
I think we should have understanding and love and peace. I mean, peace and love has been my situation. You hear that in the song. I'm trying to promote that now: peace and love and understanding.
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
Wake up meat head, don't pretend that you are dead.
Ringo Starr
I'm not going to say anything because nobody believes me when I do.
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 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've always felt that a space is as good as a fill.
Ringo Starr
I don't particularly like messages, because everybody takes whatever they take from whatever.
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
