Quote

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'

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.

I'd like to end up sort ofunforgettable.

Ten years from now, it'll all be the blues because that's the only speed I'll be able to play

Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.

I've never gone to the bedroom when I was starting out and practiced away.

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.

I've never broken a bone in my life, or in my body.

Every night there's a moment that I just wanna go back to bed. I just get nervous. Then I run on (stage) and as soon as I grab the mic then I'm 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

First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.
Ringo Starr
Image
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
Image
I never studied anything, really. I didn't study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage.
Ringo Starr
Image
I've always felt that a space is as good as a fill.
Ringo Starr
Image
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
Image
Believe me, I wish this song was yours instead of mine.
Ringo Starr
Image
I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.
Ringo Starr
Image
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.

Take a dose of rock and roll, and wash it down with cool clear soul.
Ringo Starr
Image
I mean, I was born the day war broke out, but I don't remember all the bombs though they did actually break up Liverpool, you know. I remember when I was a little older, there was big gaps in all the streets where houses used to be. We used to play over them.

I'm not sleeping with all the women I appear with.
