“I was lucky enough to be surrounded by three frustrated drummers and each of them thought I was an octopus. They forgot I only had two hands and two feet. I remember John once coming and playing a record and saying, “Oh, Ringo, I just love you to play this.” I said, “But, John, there’s two drummers on that!” “Oh, no, you can do it.” So then I would have to do whatever I could to get close.”

— Ringo Starr in Musician Magazine (June 1991)
