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.

More quotes by Ringo Starr
The point is it is amazing that the generations have joined in the Beatle madness and love the music. Who knew?
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
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
I've always felt that a space is as good as a fill.
Ringo Starr
Wake up meat head, don't pretend that you are dead.
Ringo Starr
I feel as though that was someone else playing. I was possessed!
Ringo Starr
People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know.
Ringo Starr
So this is America. They must be out of their minds.
Ringo Starr
Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.
Ringo Starr
I want to deal with what's in front of me now to the best of my abilities, and sometimes that's not very good. But a lot of the days it is really great.
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.
Ringo Starr
I'm warning you with peace and love I have too much to do. So no more fan mail. Thank you, thank you. And no objects to be signed, nothing. Peace and love, peace and love.
Ringo Starr
I made all my mistakes playing with people.
Ringo Starr
I get on with kids and I feel that's because I am one.
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.
Ringo Starr
Take a dose of rock and roll, and wash it down with cool clear soul.
Ringo Starr
I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.
Ringo Starr
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.
Ringo Starr
I don't collect any memorabilia. I wish I'd have kept everything I had. But who knew you had to keep it. Just gave it away. And we lost so much and we didn't look after a lot of it.
Ringo Starr
Ten years from now, it'll all be the blues because that's the only speed I'll be able to play
