Q: "It's not short from Zachary?"

RINGO: "No."

Q: "Why did you choose it for yourself?"

RINGO: "Umm, yeah. He's got quite a large bridge, you know, like I've got. But, I mean, I'm OK with it."

Q: "What's he going to be? What do you want him to be?"

RINGO: "I don't want him to be a drummer."

Q: "You don't want him to join a group at all?"

RINGO: "Oh, I don't mind him joining a group., just don't play drums, you know -- all that carrying around and everything before you make it. It's a drag."
