More quotes by 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
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
Beatles, women and children first!
Ringo Starr
I never studied anything, really. I didn't study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage.
Ringo Starr
I mean, women are very important to me. I don't know, they just drive me crazy.
Ringo Starr
Well, I'm getting happier all the time, which is very nice.
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'
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 don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.
Ringo Starr
Take a dose of rock and roll, and wash it down with cool clear soul.
Ringo Starr
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.
Ringo Starr
I've said this over and over again, but I love being in a band.
Ringo Starr
That's when we decided to stop in '66. Everyone thought we toured for years, you know, but we didn't. I joined in '62, and we'd finished touring in '66 to go into the studio where we could hear each other... and create any fantasy that came out of anybody's brain.
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
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Ringo Starr
Drumming is my middle name.
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
I think we should have understanding and love and peace. I mean, peace and love has been my situation. You hear that in the song. I'm trying to promote that now: peace and love and understanding.
Ringo Starr
People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know.
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.
