More quotes by 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'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.
Ringo Starr
You got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues...And you know it don't come easy.
Ringo Starr
Believe me, I wish this song was yours instead of mine.
Ringo Starr
I couldn't put my finger on one reason why we broke up. It was time, and we were spreading out. They were spreading out more than I was. I would've stayed with the band.
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
Take a dose of rock and roll, and wash it down with cool clear soul.
Ringo Starr
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.
Ringo Starr
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.
Ringo Starr
I love that about the Beatles, that the music is still going on more than the haircut, you know.
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
Gene Autry was the most. It may sound like a joke - Go and have a look in my bedroom, It's covered with Gene Autry posters. He was my first musical influence.
Ringo Starr
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
Beatles, women and children first!
Ringo Starr
I hope the fans will take up meditation instead of drugs.
Ringo Starr
Roy Orbison was the only act that The Beatles didn't want to follow.
Ringo Starr
I'd like to be in a man band, but with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Keith Richards. We'd have a rocky edge.
Ringo Starr
I am, I definitely am. I'm really excited about that.
Ringo Starr
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
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
