I don't like talking. It's how I'm built. Some people gab all day and some play it smogo. I don't mind talking or smiling, it's just I don't do it very much. I haven't got a smiling face or a talking mouth.
Ringo Starr

Ringo Starr
Take a dose of rock and roll, and wash it down with cool clear soul.

Ringo Starr
I don't particularly like messages, because everybody takes whatever they take from whatever.
Ringo Starr
Every night there's a moment that I just wanna go back to bed. I just get nervous. Then I run on (stage) and as soon as I grab the mic then I'm fine.
Ringo Starr
The second side of Abbey Road is my favorite.
