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

Last night I had a peace dream.

I'm nervous ahead of every gig. I feel like running away three seconds before I'm due on stage. But I'm all right as soon as I get the mic in my hand.

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.

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

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

Gaps can be very emotional. I mean, that's in my drumming. When I drum, you know, I don't need to drum all over the track. I play with the singer and I can back off.
