Ringo Starr: There were still discussions, meaningful discussions. I mean, the White Album, my response was that, well, I left the band. I didn’t feel I was playing and everybody knows the story. I went over to John, knocked on his door, he was in the apartment that I owned but with Yoko [Ono] and I said, you know, I feel I’m not really playing that great and you three are so close. Lennon goes: “I thought it was you three.”
Ringo: So I go to Paul [McCartney], knock because that’s what I’m like and I say that I’m not playing great, and you seem so close. Paul goes: “I thought it was you three!”
Ringo: So I said, I’m out.
