Even the two times that I left, I never really felt like I left the band. It's very bizarre. It's like there's sort of an umbilical cord that stretches between us spiritually.

I was born in 1949 - which seems like a long time ago... Actually, it is a long time ago, when I think about it.

Coming back to Yes is like never having left. Even when I have not been in the band, I have always felt part of it.

Ive been married three times and divorced three times.

When I die, I'll probably climb out of the coffin and play the organ at my own funeral!

My earliest professional musical experiences were really as a session player, and every day was an adventure. Three sessions a day, every day, and you never knew who you would be working with until you arrived at the studio.

The secret of breaking rules in a way that works is understanding what the rules are in the first place.
