I play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.

I love that about the Beatles, that the music is still going on more than the haircut, you know.

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.

I've been asked to write my autobiography and really they only want 8 years (1962-1970), and I keep saying it would be five volumes before I even got into the band!

The business is so driven by money, everyone's trying to get it right.

Do you remember when everyone began analyzing Beatles songs..I don't think I ever understood what some of them were supposed to be about

You either kiss the future or the past goodbye.
