We [the band] had this open door policy - if you walked in the door, you were asked to play

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

The drummer's always going to be there. They're the floor of the whole deal and everyone can stand up on you.

At the end of the day, I can end up just totally wacky, because I've made mountains out of molehills. With meditation, I can keep them as molehills.

I'm on my feet and I'm doing what I love to do, and I'm in a profession, as a musician, where we can go on for as long as we can go on.

I'm like everyone else, on the stage it's good. Not too much fun in the hotel or the airplane or the bus, but you got to do it.

I feel as though that was someone else playing. I was possessed!
