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.

The studio is not the place to write. You need to be 75% ready when you go into the studio, and then the music can develop to the next stage.

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 read numerous books - loads in fact - and, as I always do when recording a historical project, immersed myself into the subject matter. I spent many hours at Henrys old homes, such as Hampton Court, and visiting the Tower of London. I read no other books during that period.

My faith is very private to me. It plays an important part in my life, but I do not try and throw my beliefs at others. I have tremendous respect for all faiths and beliefs, but have a deep concern that religion and faith are currently a long way apart from each other.

My life revolves around music and always will. I need to be a part of music and not an observer.

Ive been married three times and divorced three times.
