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.

I've never gone to the bedroom when I was starting out and practiced away.

I have no anonymity.I've not had a drink in nine and a half years. That's my whole story right there.

Ringo: 'I had no schooling before I joined The Beatles and no schooling after The Beatles. Life is a great education.
