I've always felt that a space is as good as a fill.

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.

I hope the fans will take up meditation instead of drugs.
Ringo Starr
Image
Take a dose of rock and roll, and wash it down with cool clear soul.
Ringo Starr
Image
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

I hate click tracks. I'm to busy in the click track to feel my own heart rhythm, my own soul beat.
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
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.

I used to wear different rings when I first got called Ringo in about 19, about, umm, '59 I got called Ringo.
Ringo Starr
Image
I've never had any big ideas about being the solo.
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 am truly grateful. I'm a grateful human being.
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 play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.
Ringo Starr
Image
I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.
Ringo Starr
Image
I don't like talking. It's how I'm built. Some people gab all day and some play it smogo. I don't mind talking or smiling, it's just I don't do it very much. I haven't got a smiling face or a talking mouth.

When they come here, the English make a choice: New York or L.A. L.A. suited me better, I just feel comfortable here.

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