More quotes by Ringo Starr
I'm always good for starting a bit of a tune and the first verse, but after that I just can never go anywhere. It takes me years, that's why I'm so slow.
Ringo Starr
I've never gone to the bedroom when I was starting out and practiced away.
Ringo Starr
Peace and love, peace and love!
Ringo Starr
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.
Ringo Starr
We thought we'd be really big in Liverpool.
Ringo Starr
When I run on stage now, a thousand people don't even see you, they're in their phone.

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

Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.
Ringo Starr
Gene Autry was the most. It may sound like a joke - Go and have a look in my bedroom, It's covered with Gene Autry posters. He was my first musical influence.
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 love that about the Beatles, that the music is still going on more than the haircut, you know.
Ringo Starr
Drumming is my middle name.
Ringo Starr
People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know.
Ringo Starr
Well, I'm getting happier all the time, which is very nice.
Ringo Starr
When you're in a band - before it got to grunge - you dressed the bit. So yeah, I've always had an attitude with the clothes.
Ringo Starr
I like playing with a live band and I've got my act and we're fine.
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
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.
Ringo Starr
I'd like to end up sort ofunforgettable.
Ringo Starr
