More quotes by Ringo Starr
I'm always good for starting a bit of a tune and the first verse, but after that I just can never go anywhere. It takes me years, that's why I'm so slow.
Ringo Starr
When you're in a band - before it got to grunge - you dressed the bit. So yeah, I've always had an attitude with the clothes.
Ringo Starr
I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.
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'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.
Ringo Starr

I play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.
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
Drumming is my middle name.
Ringo Starr
I like playing with a live band and I've got my act and we're fine.
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
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
Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.
Ringo Starr
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
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
Roy Orbison was the only act that The Beatles didn't want to follow.
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
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.
