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

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.

We all have different musical instincts, and I think they're precious and should be respected.

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.

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.

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