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.

But I listen to live recordings of things that I did back in the '70s and then how I've done things since. And there's no doubt about it: if I compare the two, it's like chalk and cheese.

When the first list was being drawn up in the rock and roll book of Genesis, it would have been: In the beginning, God created Pink Floyd.

Country and western is the music of the devil. Thats the real truth of the matter. My late Mother, bless her, loved country and western. God, I couldnt handle 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.

I like Toronto a lot, it's a good city. The only thing that really annoys me about Toronto is that you're turning Maple Leaf Gardens into a grocery store, which is absolutely nothing short of disgusting.

Actually, I only left twice. I left then, and then rejoined literally two years later for Going For The One.
