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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Last night I had a peace dream.

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

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

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

America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.

I'm nervous ahead of every gig. I feel like running away three seconds before I'm due on stage. But I'm all right as soon as I get the mic in my hand.

I have no anonymity.I've not had a drink in nine and a half years. That's my whole story right there.

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

I love being in a band. I love playing with other human beings. I've never practiced drums unless there was another human being in the room.

Believe me, I wish this song was yours instead of mine.

Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.
