  "I started to be an engineer but I banged me thumb on the first day. I
became a drummer because it was the only thing I could do. But whenever
I hear another drummer I know I'm no good. John learned me the song I
sing."

  "I can only play on the off beat because John can't keep up on the rhythm
guitar. I'm no good on the technical things but I'm good with all the
motions, swinging my head, like. That's because I love to dance but you
can't do that on the drums." 

 Press: Are you a mod or a rocker? 
             Ringo: I'm a mocker. 

Press: Beethoven figures in one of your songs. What
             do you think of Beethoven?
