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.

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.

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.

I'm always writing or playing because that is my life.

Success is buried in the garden of failure.

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