I didn't write any music at all, and then, I remember Jon Anderson being very insistent saying that there were two kinds of musicians: the ones who wrote music and the ones who didn't.

You learn so much about music from all the people you surround yourself with - good, bad and indifferent. It's extremely hard to be specific.

And we'd drink huge amounts of scotch and coke, which is a ghastly sweet drink... And now people don't drink nearly as much, for good reason. We're all a little wiser.

The piano is kind of my second instrument.

Drummers haven't managed to develop their individuality quite as well as guitarists have. We can be so focused on the nuts and bolts that we overlook the importance of individuality - the broader picture, if you will.

Entertainment is about telling everybody that everything is alright but music is on the side of the upsetters and that's where I'm at.

Plus I am being hounded by all the fabulous new drummers, Bill Stewart at the head of the pack.
