Quotes by Ringo Starr

Ringo Starr, born Richard Starkey on July 7, 1940, in Liverpool, England, is best recognized as the drummer for The Beatles. Beyond his musical career, he has ventured into authorship, primarily with books that reflect his life, photography, and experiences. One notable work is Postcards from the Boys (2004), a collection of postcards sent to him by his Beatles bandmates—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison—accompanied by his commentary. This book offers a personal glimpse into his relationships with the band. Another significant title is Photograph (2015), a photography book featuring images from his personal archive, capturing moments from his Beatles days and beyond, paired with his reflections. Additionally, Starr co-authored Octopus’s Garden (2014), a children’s book based on the song he wrote and sang for The Beatles, illustrated by Ben Cort, showcasing his playful storytelling side.

These works highlight Starr’s approach to authorship, which leans heavily on his lived experiences and visual creativity rather than traditional narrative writing. His books are not extensive in number but are cherished by fans for their intimate, authentic connection to his iconic career.
