Drumming is my middle name.

No, no, no, I don't snort no more, I'm tired of waking up on the floor. No thank you please, it only makes me sneeze, then it makes it hard to find the door.

Ten years from now, it'll all be the blues because that's the only speed I'll be able to play

Believe me, I wish this song was yours instead of mine.

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

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.

America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.

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 thought we'd be really big in Liverpool.

I play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.
Ringo Starr
Image
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 feel as though that was someone else playing. I was possessed!
Ringo Starr
Image
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.

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