I feel with ELP that I wasn't making the most of my life and I wasn't making the most of my creativity. I was marking time. I don't want to do that. Life is to short.

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.

When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.

As I said to Ringo, I was in a successful Rock N Roll band. He was in a band that changed the world. That's the difference.

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

The greatest music is made for love, not for money.

The early ELP albums were pioneering in a way.
