I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn't want to be a frontman. I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wanted the focus to be on my ability as a singer and as an entertainer - not on my private life.
John Lennon and Ringo Starr liked my songs. I used to write songs and they heard me sing songs on stage in London.
If it weren't for the Beatles, I would not be a musician.
If one could have a wish, or an alternative life, I would've liked to have been John Lennon.
I wanted to be a rich, famous rock-and-roll star in that order.
I wanted to play drums, and I got a set when I was 14 and just started to play in the house, to the stereo. I liked Ringo Starr, of course. And Sandy Nelson. I had his record, 'Let There Be Drums,' and I'd play along with it.
I wanted to be a rock star when I grew up, or at least a singer/songwriter.
As I said to Ringo, I was in a successful Rock N Roll band. He was in a band that changed the world. That's the difference.
I wanted to be a rock star.
I had no desire to be famous; I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.
