People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know.

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.

Fondest memory of being a Beatle: Having three brothers.

Being in The Beatles was a short, incredible period of my life. I had 22 years leading up to it, and it was all over eight years later.

When you're in a band - before it got to grunge - you dressed the bit. So yeah, I've always had an attitude with the clothes.

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.

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.
