I feel with ELP that I wasn't making the most of my life and I wasn't making the most of my creativity. I was marking time. I don't want to do that. Life is to short.

I would like to involve myself in some black music. I would like to do some blues and some gospel music. I want to try stuff from other genres and try to widen my musical base.

Still...you turn me on

There is no standing still because time is moving forward.

The greatest music is made for love, not for money.

Making a comeback is one of the most difficult things to do with dignity.

When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.

Music is an emotional experience, and that is what imprints itself on the soul.

I think for me, any great art is art which communicates human emotion.

I don't think art is a goal orientated business. I don't do things for the challenges, I only do them because I love them, I'm not really a goal orientated, achiever type of person.

To make art you need to be inspired.

I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way.

Anyone who wants to be a leader must be the servant, not the boss, of those he wants to serve.

The less apparent the means and manner of the artist, the more directly will his work appeal to the understanding and the feelings.

If America is to survive, we must elect more God-centered men and women to public office; individuals who will seek Divine guidance in the affairs of state.

Spend 5 minutes breathing in, cherishing yourself; and, breathing out cherishing others. If you think about people you have difficulty cherishing, extend your cherishing to them anyway.

I just have a belief that when there is a rare script out there that speaks to you, you have to stick with it. You have to.

You can't take a dying project, sprinkle it with the magic pixie dust of "open source," and have everything magically work out.

I am me. I have to define myself. I'm going to stand up at the back of the train and take control of my future.

I used to feel like I had to be the best at what I did, but I realized I don't have to be the best. It's so freeing. I've never been this happy.

Phocion compared the speeches of Leosthenes to cypress-trees. "They are tall," said he, "and comely, but bear no fruit."
