More quotes by Ringo Starr
Drumming is my middle name.
Ringo Starr
We thought we'd be really big in Liverpool.
Ringo Starr
I like playing with a live band and I've got my act and we're fine.
Ringo Starr
I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.
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
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 never broken a bone in my life, or in my body.
Ringo Starr
The point is it is amazing that the generations have joined in the Beatle madness and love the music. Who knew?
Ringo Starr
I've never gone to the bedroom when I was starting out and practiced away.
Ringo Starr
I've never had any big ideas about being the solo.
Ringo Starr
My soul is that of a drummer.... I didn't do it to become rich and famous. I did it because it was the love of my life.
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'm not sleeping with all the women I appear with.
Ringo Starr
When I run on stage now, a thousand people don't even see you, they're in their phone.
Ringo Starr
The business is so driven by money, everyone's trying to get it right.
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 get on with kids and I feel that's because I am one.
Ringo Starr
I'm not going to say anything because nobody believes me when I do.
Ringo Starr
People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know.
Ringo Starr
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.
Ringo Starr
