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 was never the creative leader of the Beatles, like Paul McCartney and John Lennon, nor was he a big influence on their sound like George Harrison. What he was, however, was a very good drummer. And for arguably the biggest band in the world, that was enough.
Today, Harrison is not only the most famous drummer in the world, he’s also the richest with a net worth estimated at 300 million.
Here we have collected some of his best quotes in and out of the studio.
