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

I love being in a band. I love playing with other human beings. I’ve never practiced drums unless there was another human being in the room.

I want to deal with what’s in front of me now to the best of my abilities, and sometimes that’s not very good. But a lot of the days it is really great.

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

Peace and love, peace and love!

We will miss George for his sense of love, his sense of music and his sense of laughter.

Fondest memory of being a Beatle: Having three brothers.

Being in The Beatles was a short, incredible period of my life. I had 22 years leading up to it, and it was all over eight years later.

I’d like to be in a man band, but with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Keith Richards. We’d have a rocky edge.

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

I’m not sleeping with all the women I appear with.

I’ve never really done anything to create what has happened. It creates itself. I’m here because it happened. But I didn’t do anything to make it happen apart from saying ‘Yes’

Beatles, women and children first!

My soul is that of a drummer. I didn’t do it to become rich and famous. I did it because it was the love of my life.

I love that about the Beatles, that the music is still going on more than the haircut, you know.

I am, I definitely am. I’m really excited about that.

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

The more I work, the more I see things differently, that is, everything gains in grandeur every day, becomes more and more unknown, more and more beautiful. The closer I come, the grander it is, the more remote it is.

Me personally, I just wanted to do that to capture These Days.With DAY-lyt.

It’s the hour when night breaks away from the day, my dove, let me go.

We do not die because we have to die; we die because one day, and not so long ago, our consciousness was forced to deem it necessary.

I would imagine there are days when Superman wakes up, glances at his cape, and wonders when someone will come save him.

I thought [when I was 16] my days were just going to be spent hanging out on a beach and my girlfriend was going to be Miss Teen USA and my best friend will be a dolphin.

Once I came to acting, it was almost a thing where there weren’t enough hours in the day to work on stuff because I was so passionate about it.

You always take a little bit back with you at the end of the day. I always put a little bit of myself into the characters, too.
