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!

When I'm ninety-five and it's 'This is Your Life' time, they'll still be referring to me as 'ex-Beatle'...it does have it's advantages. It's still the best way to get a good table at a resturant.

I never take it as any real pressure. It's like my son. I only gave him one lesson. When I went to give him the second one he said, 'Oh, I can do that dad.' I said, 'Now you're on your own.'

First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.

I hate click tracks. I'm to busy in the click track to feel my own heart rhythm, my own soul beat.

I've said this over and over again, but I love being in a band.

You got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues...And you know it don't come easy.
