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

Everything government touches turns to crap.

Fondest memory of being a Beatle: Having three brothers.

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.

They were in a position of total ignorance and people in that position often died without being enlightened.

There are so many opportunities in life, that the loss of two or three capabilities is not necessarily debilitating. A handicap can give you the opportunity to focus more on art, writing, or music.

Joy is what we all seek. It is an energy more powerful than food. But without love we can not feel true joy.

I had a prior deal in place to do a miniseries for HBO, so I'm not done with TV. But I basically want to stay in movies.

Love me. Love my umbrella.

If life on Planet Earth was really supposed to be a picnic, we would all have been born clutching gingham tablecloths.

We make our own choices and we're each responsible for them. Blame and credit belong to the individual. You haven't the right to claim either from someone else.

Respecting others' opinions doesn't mean being untrue to our own.

You can't always get the perfect moment. Sometimes, you just have to do the best you can under the circumstances.

What's the news? None, my lord, but that the world's grown honest, Then is doomsday near.
