Ringo Starr Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Ringo Starr:

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.

George was getting alot of independence for himself in those days. He was writing more, and wanted things to go his way - where, when we first started things basically went John and Paul's way. You know, 'cuz they were the writers.

We've got the children so we have to deal with each other because we have to deal with children's problems, you know, and our own problems. But some days it's fine, and then some days we just are at each other's throat.

Ringo Starr

Gene Autry was the most. It may sound like a joke - Go and have a look in my bedroom, It's covered with Gene Autry posters. He was my first musical influence.

Ringo Starr

America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.

Ringo Starr

And the White Album is important to me for different reasons. One - I had left the band on the White Album.

Ringo Starr

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

Ringo Starr

So this is America. They must be out of their minds.

Ringo Starr

I couldn't put my finger on one reason why we broke up. It was time, and we were spreading out. They were spreading out more than I was. I would've stayed with the band.

That's all drugs and alcohol do, they cut off your emotions in the end.

Everything government touches turns to crap.

And in a marriage you can't TRY and be married. You're married or you're not married... as far as I'm concerned.

Ringo Starr

That's when we decided to stop in '66. Everyone thought we toured for years, you know, but we didn't. I joined in '62, and we'd finished touring in '66 to go into the studio where we could hear each other... and create any fantasy that came out of anybody's brain.

Ringo Starr

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

Ringo Starr

I love the modern technology now.

Ringo Starr

And so we went away to play, and we'd come back to Liverpool. And while we were doing this - 'cuz we did it for two years. And then we'd go to Germany, and that's where I met the Beatles.

Ringo Starr

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

Ringo Starr

I like Beethoven, especially the poems.

Ringo Starr

Well, I'm getting happier all the time, which is very nice.

Ringo Starr

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.

Ringo Starr

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.

Ringo Starr

People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know.

Ringo Starr

I never studied anything, really. I didn't study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage.

Ringo Starr

And I came back and it was great, 'cuz George had set up all these flowers all over the studio saying welcome home. So then we got it together again. I always felt it was better on the White one for me. We were more like a band, you know.

Ringo Starr

The second side of Abbey Road is my favorite.

Ringo Starr

I feel the older I get, the more I'm learning to handle life. Being on this quest for a long time, it's all about finding yourself.

Ringo Starr

For me, God is in my life. I don't hide from that... I think the search has been on since the '60s.

Ringo Starr

People only look at me as a Beatle, but my friends look at me as a whole person. That's how life works, but it's not bugging me anymore.

Ringo Starr

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 don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.

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.

Ringo Starr

I get by with a little help from my friends.

Ringo Starr

I'd like to end up sort of unforgettable.

Ringo Starr

I've never been able to sit round on my own and play drums, practice in the back room, never been able to. I've always played with other musicians. It's how I play, there's no joy for me in playing on my own, bashing away. I need a bass, a piano, guitar, whatever, and then I can play.

Ringo Starr

Drumming is my middle name.
