I understand travel. I understand the experience of travel. I mean there is something of the "air-conditioned gypsy" in me.

There is no standing still because time is moving forward.

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 love touring in the United States. It's dramatically different wherever you go. North to south you're going from snow to palm trees.

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.

To make art you need to be inspired.

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.
