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

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

I don't particularly like messages, because everybody takes whatever they take from whatever.
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.

I think the most exciting thing is that you expect people our age to know the music, but actually a lot of kids know the music, and if anything is left, we have left really good music, and that's the important part, not the mop-tops or whatever.

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.

And in a marriage you can't TRY and be married. You're married or you're not married... as far as I'm concerned.

I am, I definitely am. I'm really excited about that.

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.

You got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues...And you know it don't come easy.
Ringo Starr

I play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.
Ringo Starr

The kids are interested in the music of them. They're not interested in mop-tops and Beatle boots and crazy suits. It's all down to the music now - that's what they hear, and that's what they love.
Ringo Starr
Image
Peace and love, peace and love!
Ringo Starr

My soul is that of a drummer.... I didn't do it to become rich and famous. I did it because it was the love of my life.

I'm not sleeping with all the women I appear with.
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.

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 like playing with a live band and I've got my act and we're fine.
Ringo Starr
Image
I've never had any big ideas about being the solo.
Ringo Starr
Image
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'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.
