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
I've always felt that a space is as good as a fill.
Ringo Starr
I play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.
Ringo Starr
I'd like to be in a man band, but with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Keith Richards. We'd have a rocky edge.
