Through the years I've found that I prefer live playing to recording. I still do lots of recording - but I treasure the live shows.

From my time in 'King Crimson,' I'd describe a Progressive band as one that keeps trying to break musical barriers, and keeps trying to do new music.

People should decide what success means for them, and not be distracted by accepting others' definitions of success.

Like most musicians, Im good at becoming immersed in the music that I am currently working on. We seldom lift up our heads to contemplate even the music we will be doing in the future, let alone what weve done in the past.

Like many musicians, I don't look back much... only concentrate on what music I'm doing, and occasionally look ahead.

I'm in that comfortable niche where I'm not that famous and sometimes people do need to put a barrier between them and their followers. When you're real famous you need to do that but I'm not that famous so I don't need that kind of barrier.

I'm a player and I do it because I love playing whether it's for my album or someone else's.
