I mean, women are very important to me. I don't know, they just drive me crazy.
Ringo Starr

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

Roy Orbison was the only act that The Beatles didn't want to follow.

I used to wear different rings when I first got called Ringo in about 19, about, umm, '59 I got called Ringo.

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 get on with kids and I feel that's because I am one.

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

Well, I'm getting happier all the time, which is very nice.
Ringo Starr

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.

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've said this over and over again, but I love being in a band.

We will miss George for his sense of love, his sense of music and his sense of laughter.

When I run on stage now, a thousand people don't even see you, they're in their phone.

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

We thought we'd be really big in Liverpool.
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 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.

Every time, my syncopation is different, because I can never play the same fill twice. I just can't, never have been able to. Even as a Beatle, they'd say, 'Oh, double-track that.' I don't know how you do that, because when I'm in a fill I'm sort of this blackout, just this pure me coming out and I can't pure me the same, twice. So, that's that.

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

And in a marriage you can't TRY and be married. You're married or you're not married... as far as I'm concerned.
