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.

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.

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

But I'd play on everything from pop records to a lot of the glam stuff to rock stuff to classical stuff. I used to get called to do all those things, it was great.

I was born in 1949 - which seems like a long time ago... Actually, it is a long time ago, when I think about 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'm always writing or playing because that is my life.
