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 was the new boy. It was like joining a new class at school where everybody knows everybody else but me.

I used to wear different rings when I first got called Ringo in about 19, about, umm, '59 I got called Ringo.

My occupation is syncopation. But, every time, my syncopation is different, because I can never play the same fill twice. I just can't, never have been able to.

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.

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

From 13, I wanted to play drums. I wanted to play with good people and I'm still doing it. I still love it so that's why I do it.
