Prog rock, with a little good taste, is ok. I tried to bring some of it into this century, I guess.

When I go on Japanese Airlines, I really love it because I like Japanese food.

All I set out to do was to earn a living playing drums, you know? And as luck would have it, I've surpassed that.

Everything has added up to a load that I'm getting tired of carrying. It's gotten so complicated. It's the three failed marriages, and having kids that grew up without me, and it's the personal criticism, of being Mr. Nice Guy, or of divorcing my wife by fax, all that stuff, the journalism, some of which I find insulting.

Catering on planes, like on British Rail, is a standing joke, but I don't really have a problem with it. I don't quite know what people expect.

Believe it or not, Japanese is actually easier than some European languages!

Before you write - remember that every speech has something of 'you' in the writing. Don't take that away when you write. Be yourself. Be comfortable in your own skin.
