King Crimson is never easy; it's challenging. That's why I like it.

Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.

The only drawback is once the work is done you rarely see each other.

Digital for storage and quickness. Analog for fatness and warmth.

I borrowed a guitar at age 16 and taught myself to play because I wanted to write songs.

I thought I might be a band instructor, someone who plays all the instruments and teaches others.

I have no secrets; all of these things have been discussed at length in guitar magazines over the years but are far too elaborate to cover in one article.

King Crimson will soon be touring parts of Europe.

I have enjoyed all the artists I've worked with.

I was left with an urge to make the guitar sound like things it shouldn't be able to sound like.

King Crimson is never easy; it's challenging. That's why I like it.

We expect to keep our writing sessions going until late spring, then to play some new material in a few secret club dates. The record will likely take a long time and may not surface until 1999!

I prefer a quartet, it makes everyone work harder.

For example, after developing a sound similar to an elephant trumpeting, I wrote the song Elephant Talk which gave my elephant sound an appropriate place to live.

As you can appreciate over my lifetime I've developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box.

I love drums and still play frequently.

I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year, the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.

My favorite puzzle is trying to work out the parts myself, after all it is a solo effort.

Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer.

Currently I'm working with Parker Fly on a new Midi guitar to arrive next year.

DUST includes rarities, demos, unreleased songs and instrumentals, live recordings, and more.

I happen to love coconut, particularly for that sweet and crunchy texture it adds to any dish.

Yeah, you know, you like it to come on like gangbusters, but you get into passages that are very interesting and subtle, and sometimes your original intent changes quite a bit.

I think that's what happens when you get scared, and you're rushing, and you don't have time. Rather than cut things out and take a chance, and build things up you think are working, you cut everything down a little bit, and everything sort of suffers.

The public is even more pessimistic about the economy than even the most bearish economists are.

Rather than have it the principal thing in my son's mind, I would gladly have him think that the sun went round the earth, and that the stars were so many spangles set in the bright blue firmament.

Ants are a terrific analogy for the route to success. They will go over, under, around, or through whatever gets in their way. They never stop moving, and neither should you. Take the word impossible and turn it into I'm Possible.

Well I think a lot of times we're putting things off and I'm going to do it later. I'm going to break this bad habit or I'm going to pursue this dream or I'm going to treat my spouse better.

Your big opportunity may be right where you are now.

For me, what I really want to come out of it is to show people that I can hold together a movie, be the number one character and play someone who is twenty or twenty-one.

Dreams are the language of God.

I'm not setting 'Jericho' up to be anything other than what it is, which is, you know, a piece of good, well thought-out, well put-together TV and entertainment.

Aging in Hollywood sucks. There's always so much pressure to look way younger than you are, and everyone's watching! I'd like to embrace getting older, because it's kind of inevitable. The different, wiser me, to be at peace with how I look and I'm supposed to look - it's a work in progress.

It's easy to get carried away with yourself.

Having kids is the deal-breaker on shyness! Once you have a baby, you learn to speak up loud and clear to protect them, defend them, and encourage them. I have three sons, so I've experienced that in triplicate.

People assume you can't be shy and be on television. They're wrong.

People like reality; I think it's always happened from the Roman times, when people used to go to a coliseum and watch people compete against each other. I think networks and cable channels find it an easier way of producing and putting things together, because people will watch it and it's cheaper.

He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard for his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections.

Style is a fraud. I always felt the Greeks were hiding behind their columns.

We're about to shoot an episode on Air Force One, for instance, and we're going to take liberties, small liberties, with Air Force One, as we take small liberties with our White House set.

Here in the UK the government has decided to accept the recommendations of the Better Regulation Task Force to measure and make targeted reductions in the administrative costs - the red tape costs - that regulations impose on business.

The gauger walked with willing foot And aye the gauger played the flute And what should Master Gauger play But Over the Hills and Far Away.

I bought a house for my mom, I bought a house for my dad, I bought a house for my sister.

If you've ever been to a poetry slam, you know that the highest scoring emotion is self-righteous indignation: how dare you judge me. So in that way, the poem, 'What Teachers Make,' is an absolutely formulaic slam poem designed to allow me to get up on my soap box and say, 'Let me tell you what really makes me angry.'

There's a certain line between jokes and music and poetry that's a bit blurred in my mind.
