I don't really remember a whole lot of sex, drugs and rock n' roll, really.

Holding on to some of your uniqueness is the trick instead of surrendering it at the Academy of Contemporary We're Gonna Make You a Star.

We were from totally different social backgrounds. This is what is very hard for an American to understand, but we could have been five guys from Mars.

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.

Close to the Edge, Red, One of a kind, Discipline, Earthworks, The Sound of Surprise, all seem to me to be albums that captured the essence of the intention.

This amateurism however, can sometimes be helpful in forging a style; you have to work around your weaknesses.

One of the great things about having good players in your band is that you just ask them questions. You can pick up some good information that way.
