We thought we'd be really big in Liverpool.

I've never gone to the bedroom when I was starting out and practiced away.
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'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'm not going to say anything because nobody believes me when I do.
Ringo Starr

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'

I play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.

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.

In 1989 I sort of got back into the music business and one of the reasons I got back in is [that] I put the first All Stars band together. It's actually progressed from that every other year, or every two years, I've put that together...more and more realizing that's what I do.

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.

I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.

I get on with kids and I feel that's because I am one.
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.

We will miss George for his sense of love, his sense of music and his sense of laughter.
Ringo Starr
Image
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.

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