I've always been playing with other people, and that's how I learned. I got a kit of drums I couldn't play, but I also knew a guitarist and a friend of mine played bass and could teach us bass, and we just played. And I learned.

More quotes by Ringo Starr
Wake up meat head, don't pretend that you are dead.
Ringo Starr
I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.
Ringo Starr
We will miss George for his sense of love, his sense of music and his sense of laughter.
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've said this over and over again, but I love being in a band.

Ringo Starr
I've never really done anything to create what has happened. It creates itself. I'm here because it happened. But I didn't do anything to make it happen apart from saying 'Yes'
Ringo Starr
I play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.
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 think we should have understanding and love and peace. I mean, peace and love has been my situation. You hear that in the song. I'm trying to promote that now: peace and love and understanding.
Ringo Starr
The business is so driven by money, everyone's trying to get it right.
Ringo Starr
Everything government touches turns to crap.
Ringo Starr
And so we went away to play, and we'd come back to Liverpool. And while we were doing this - 'cuz we did it for two years. And then we'd go to Germany, and that's where I met the Beatles.
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 mean, women are very important to me. I don't know, they just drive me crazy.
Ringo Starr
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
Last night I had a peace dream.
Ringo Starr
