When I'm ninety-five and it's 'This is Your Life' time, they'll still be referring to me as 'ex-Beatle'...it does have it's advantages. It's still the best way to get a good table at a resturant.

More quotes by Ringo Starr
I think the most exciting thing is that you expect people our age to know the music, but actually a lot of kids know the music, and if anything is left, we have left really good music, and that's the important part, not the mop-tops or whatever.
Ringo Starr
Everything government touches turns to crap.
Ringo Starr
I mean, I was born the day war broke out, but I don't remember all the bombs though they did actually break up Liverpool, you know. I remember when I was a little older, there was big gaps in all the streets where houses used to be. We used to play over them.
Ringo Starr
Peace and love, peace and love!
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
Wake up meat head, don't pretend that you are dead.
Ringo Starr
I've never gone to the bedroom when I was starting out and practiced away.
Ringo Starr
The kids are interested in the music of them. They're not interested in mop-tops and Beatle boots and crazy suits. It's all down to the music now - that's what they hear, and that's what they love.
Ringo Starr
I hope the fans will take up meditation instead of drugs.
Ringo Starr
People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know.
Ringo Starr
I've always felt that a space is as good as a fill.
Ringo Starr
The business is so driven by money, everyone's trying to get it right.
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
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
Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.
Ringo Starr
Last night I had a peace dream.
Ringo Starr
I'm not going to say anything because nobody believes me when I do.
Ringo Starr
The second side of Abbey Road is my favorite.
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
When I run on stage now, a thousand people don't even see you, they're in their phone.
Ringo Starr
