Some quotes below.
On whether a Beatles reunion would have happened if John and George were still alive:"With the [technology] you have now, I think we could have got it together. I think the stumbling block was just sitting around and saying, 'OK, let's do it.' And we never got to that. You know, we did in twos, we talked about it. But I think if we had just relaxed behind it long enough, we still had the songs, and we still could play. We could have put it together. And we could have done 'A Day in the Life.' Of course, it's ended now. John and George are gone."
On why he got clean from drugs and alcohol in 1988:"It gets really lonely, you know. It's just really cold and lonely. It's a miserable disease, in the end. There's a crowd of you, and it's lonely. Because that's all you're doing is getting fucked, you know. But I haven't been that lonely since."
Quote from Paul McCartney about inducting Ringo into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame after realizing their manager was in but not Ringo:"I said, 'Let me see what I can do.' And I talked to Bruce Springsteen and I talked to Dave Grohl, and they both said he should be in. And I said I'd do the induction. That took care of it."
