More quotes by Ringo Starr
We thought we'd be really big in Liverpool.
Ringo Starr
You got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues...And you know it don't come easy.
Ringo Starr
Well, I'm getting happier all the time, which is very nice.
Ringo Starr
I'm always good for starting a bit of a tune and the first verse, but after that I just can never go anywhere. It takes me years, that's why I'm so slow.
Ringo Starr
People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know.
Ringo Starr
So this is America. They must be out of their minds.
Ringo Starr
America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.
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
I'd like to be in a man band, but with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Keith Richards. We'd have a rocky edge.
Ringo Starr
Believe me, I wish this song was yours instead of mine.
Ringo Starr
I met The Beatles while we were playing in Germany. We'd seen them in Liverpool, but they were a nothing little band then, just putting it together. In fact, they weren't really a band at all.
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 don't like talking. It's how I'm built. Some people gab all day and some play it smogo. I don't mind talking or smiling, it's just I don't do it very much. I haven't got a smiling face or a talking mouth.
Ringo Starr
I've never broken a bone in my life, or in my body.
Ringo Starr
I never studied anything, really. I didn't study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage.
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 don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.
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
I have no anonymity.I've not had a drink in nine and a half years. That's my whole story right there.
Ringo Starr
