If you made a record, I'd probably pick out tracks that I like and download that. That's just how it is.
Ringo Starr

I am truly grateful. I'm a grateful human being.
Ringo Starr
Image
I want to deal with what's in front of me now to the best of my abilities, and sometimes that's not very good. But a lot of the days it is really great.
Ringo Starr
Image
I feel the older I get, the more I'm learning to handle life. Being on this quest for a long time, it's all about finding yourself.

You got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues...And you know it don't come easy.
Ringo Starr

I'm not going to say anything because nobody believes me when I do.

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.

Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.

I've never really done anything to create what has happened. It creates itself. I'm here because it happened. But I didn't do anything to make it happen apart from saying 'Yes'
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.

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.

I've said this over and over again, but I love being in a band.
Ringo Starr
Image
Well, I'm getting happier all the time, which is very nice.
Ringo Starr

I couldn't put my finger on one reason why we broke up. It was time, and we were spreading out. They were spreading out more than I was. I would've stayed with the band.
Ringo Starr

I'm on my feet and I'm doing what I love to do, and I'm in a profession, as a musician, where we can go on for as long as we can go on.

Last night I had a peace dream.
Ringo Starr

I'm warning you with peace and love I have too much to do. So no more fan mail. Thank you, thank you. And no objects to be signed, nothing. Peace and love, peace and love.

Ten years from now, it'll all be the blues because that's the only speed I'll be able to play

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.

No, no, no, I don't snort no more, I'm tired of waking up on the floor. No thank you please, it only makes me sneeze, then it makes it hard to find the door.
