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.

We'd get in the car and i'd look over at John and say 'Christ. Look at you. You're a bloody phenomenon!' and just laugh because it was only him.

Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.

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

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

I don't like talking. It's how I'm built. Some people gab all day and some play it smogo. I don't mind talking or smiling, it's just I don't do it very much. I haven't got a smiling face or a talking mouth.

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