I love to see new talent, new people beginning. It's a wonderful thing, and one wonders where their journey will take them. Sometimes they ask me for advice but it's very difficult to advise people. Everyone has their own destiny really.

I don't think art is a goal orientated business. I don't do things for the challenges, I only do them because I love them, I'm not really a goal orientated, achiever type of person.

Songwriting is never one thing. I've spent as long as three months writing a song. Other times I've done it in twenty minutes.

There is no standing still because time is moving forward.

Walking through the Capitol Building gives you a sense of how it all began here. It was reassuring to see how restrained it was. It was very humble in a way.

The early ELP albums were pioneering in a way.

I think for me, any great art is art which communicates human emotion.
