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

More quotes by 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.

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

When they come here, the English make a choice: New York or L.A. L.A. suited me better, I just feel comfortable here.

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

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

I've never had any big ideas about being the solo.

I've never broken a bone in my life, or in my body.

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.

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.

So this is America. They must be out of their minds.

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 love that about the Beatles, that the music is still going on more than the haircut, you know.
Ringo Starr
Image
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.

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

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.

I'm not going to say anything because nobody believes me when I do.
