I listen to Bill Stewart play the drums and when I have finished doing that, I listen to Bill Stewart.

I seldom play in a trio, but acoustic music is likely to be lighter, quicker, and quieter.

You learn so much about music from all the people you surround yourself with - good, bad and indifferent. It's extremely hard to be specific.

But what I think my emphasis is, is on the fact that I like music a lot.

Plus I am being hounded by all the fabulous new drummers, Bill Stewart at the head of the pack.

A rock band used to be four guys and a drummer. Now it's five guys sitting around reading manuals!

Close to the Edge, Red, One of a kind, Discipline, Earthworks, The Sound of Surprise, all seem to me to be albums that captured the essence of the intention.

Sometimes I had to room with Tony Kaye and that was awful.

We used to drink an awful lot of alcohol.

My harmony is passable but is usually made more eloquent at the hands of Steve Hamilton.

Change occurs in direct proportion to dissatisfaction, but dissatisfaction never changes.

I knew always that Holland gave away the most Jews of all the countries. We are not the heroes that are in the history books.

I think that I know the value of a dollar.

For once I've met somebody, the years cannot erase... The memory of a pleasant word or of a friendly face...

My father was a tyrant about reading, and that put me off books when I was little.

Find Eloy. Smack his head into a wall, dance on his guts... I'd get creative. Spontaneous like.

There's no huge, deep message in any of the songs. We recorded a few months of being human.

It's much less interesting as an actor playing someone who's purely good or purely evil.

Am I allowed to call myself working-class now? Because obviously I'm now very rich.

The way you see your life shapes your life.
