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.

I've never had any big ideas about being the solo.

Ten years from now, it'll all be the blues because that's the only speed I'll be able to play
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 not going to say anything because nobody believes me when I do.
Ringo Starr

I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.

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.

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

I play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.

The trouble with leaving your feet on the ground is you never get to take your pants off.
Ringo Starr
Image
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 hate click tracks. I'm to busy in the click track to feel my own heart rhythm, my own soul beat.
Ringo Starr
Image
People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know.
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 never gone to the bedroom when I was starting out and practiced away.
Ringo Starr
Image
I've never broken a bone in my life, or in my body.
Ringo Starr
Image
I get on with kids and I feel that's because I am one.
Ringo Starr
Image
The kids are interested in the music of them. They're not interested in mop-tops and Beatle boots and crazy suits. It's all down to the music now - that's what they hear, and that's what they love.
Ringo Starr
Image
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.

Take a dose of rock and roll, and wash it down with cool clear soul.
