Fondest memory of being a Beatle: Having three brothers.

Everything government touches turns to crap.

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.

The Beatles were just four guys that loved each other. That's all they'll ever be.

Take a dose of rock and roll, and wash it down with cool clear soul.

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.

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

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

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

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

I learned to knit in hospital. They give you stuff to do to keep you busy because you're so ill.

Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

I don't even know what my natural color is. Natural? What is natural? What is that? I do not believe in totally natural for women. For me, natural has something to do with vegetables

Ever afterward, though the dance of creation change around me in the hall of eternity, I shall be the same.

What mankind wants is not talent; it is purpose.

I was on the central table and we were a very intimate group.

I was no longer, if I had ever been, afraid to die: I was now afraid not to die.

I think we are just insects, we live a bit and then die and that’s the lot. There’s no mercy in things. There’s not even a Great Beyond. There’s nothing.

The thing to try and keep in mind, no matter what the day, is there is always something good, to give thanks to God in prayer.

If ancient tales say true, nor wrong these holy men.

Our lives are not what we deserve; they are, let us agree, in many ways deficient.
