I understand travel. I understand the experience of travel. I mean there is something of the "air-conditioned gypsy" in me.

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.

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.

Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.

If perfection is absurd, why is tragedy common?

God’s plan is to get back the earth that has been given over to Satan by man

Discipline is what you must have to resist the lure of excuses

New tech explosions create winners and losers, but overall are remarkably positive for the country, middle-class folks, the economy, jobs, and wages.

I once said to my father, when I was a boy, 'Dad we need a third political party.' He said to me, 'I'll settle for a second.'

I thought of the structure as musical. The first piece, for instance, contains the names/subject matter of every person to come in the book. Like a piece of music with themes, etc.

I didn't have a home in the world, so I wanted a home in a person. I felt like I had found that, and then it was taken away from me.

A sure friend is known in unsure circumstances.

Gratitude is the single greatest treasure I will take with me from this experience.
