Ringo: 'I had no schooling before I joined The Beatles and no schooling after The Beatles. Life is a great education.

I think the most exciting thing is that you expect people our age to know the music, but actually a lot of kids know the music, and if anything is left, we have left really good music, and that's the important part, not the mop-tops or whatever.

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

When you're in a band - before it got to grunge - you dressed the bit. So yeah, I've always had an attitude with the clothes.

The trouble with leaving your feet on the ground is you never get to take your pants off.

The kids are interested in the music of them. They're not interested in mop-tops and Beatle boots and crazy suits. It's all down to the music now - that's what they hear, and that's what they love.
