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

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 quite honored by it. They [people] tell me that , 'If it hadn't of been for you, I wouldn't have played drums.' Hey, don't blame me, I was just up there doing my stuff. So no, I never take it as any real pressure.

I've always felt that a space is as good as a fill.

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

I don't particularly like messages, because everybody takes whatever they take from whatever.

The main thing is not to be afraid of that, to get to a place where you'll go gracefully, not screaming and kicking up a fuss.
