I feel as though that was someone else playing. I was possessed!
Ringo Starr

I'm not going to say anything because nobody believes me when I do.

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'd like to be in a man band, but with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Keith Richards. We'd have a rocky edge.

Last night I had a peace dream.

First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.
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.

Peace and love, peace and love!

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

I never studied anything, really. I didn't study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage.

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.
Ringo Starr
Image
I'd like to end up sort ofunforgettable.
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
Take a dose of rock and roll, and wash it down with cool clear soul.
Ringo Starr
Image
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Ringo Starr
Image
I've always been playing with other people, and that's how I learned. I got a kit of drums I couldn't play, but I also knew a guitarist and a friend of mine played bass and could teach us bass, and we just played. And I learned.

When I'm ninety-five and it's 'This is Your Life' time, they'll still be referring to me as 'ex-Beatle'...it does have it's advantages. It's still the best way to get a good table at a resturant.
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.

Wake up meat head, don't pretend that you are dead.
Ringo Starr
Image
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.
