I've spent the last year and a half going through a very public separation, hiding in hotel lobbies.

As a composer I approached the drums differently than a non-composing drummer. I embraced drum machines.

I'm not sure at all about the current prog rock scene.

I never said I was at the Alamo. Someone else said I was at the Alamo. Now I'm a nutter. I don't think that's fair.

Tattoos don't impress me. For me it's just another awkward part of fame. It's extraordinary - tattoos in basketball and soccer, it's quite extraordinary.

I used to go to my local pub and it was like a sanctuary, nobody dared ask for an autograph. You went in there for a ploughman's and a pint, and you went home and watched TV. Believe me, there's more to watch on British TV than American, except for CNN right now. But yeah, I miss it.

In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn.
