I'm very proud of it as a Yes record amongst many of the other Yes records.

I love the feeling of creating pictures in someone's mind just by spelling out the right lyrical combination.

We came off the road of the last tour very inspired to just keep playing, so we went to Canada.

I'd written songs with lots of people, from one spectrum to the other.

I have always enjoyed different kinds of music.

I mean, Beatles songs were two and a half minutes long, and they're fantastic.

So one can say that I write all the time, that goes for the lyrics as well.

And I found that when I built my own place and just shut the door, the creativity was endless.

Everyone is really getting along with each other and we enjoy each others company and love playing live.

I write on all instruments.

I wasn't really writing with anything commercial in mind I just wanted to create some new music.

I grew up in a very musical family, my father was a musician and a big band leader and made records.

I think that the climate within the band has changed, it's now in a more functional situation.

I also write poems, so that is something that I really enjoy.

So for my studio purposes, I know that I'm in my studio with technicians who've done amazing things to my board and to my power amps and I know what I can deliver out of my studio.

So in one sense you don't have the classic keyboard player in Yes.

I know that if I went to other studios, like in Vancouver, that those are set up to be as professional and as true, so it's just a different flavour, it's a different sound, but I think both have their place.

I've had the luxury of owning my own studio, 24 analogue, 48 digital, endless effects, endless hardcore gear, that I don't have to rent, I don't get stuck with the bills, it's all mine.

So I was always around music and my dad was in his own way a progressive jazzer, a big band jazzer guy.

I love all Yes music and love to play it live, but I'm most interested in making new music with Yes.

So that studio served its purpose, and still is working very well for other people right now.

So whenever I had some in-between producing time down in my studio I popped a tape in and started working on it. Working a little bit at a time, it actually took almost four years.

When you're a songwriter and you click with someone, you tend to want to keep writing with that person.

I don't have any assistants, I do it all myself, I don't have any secretaries.

I'm very proud of it as a Yes record amongst many of the other Yes records.

Sometimes I hear a drum groove in my head and I rush down to my studio.

You know, I am just a musician and I have no idea these days what good and bad is in terms of labels.

I wrote songs with the guys from Air Supply for their record... So I was just writing songs.

It's an album that is a little bit different and probably isn't easy to get out. It's not likely that a major label would have picked it up and said that they had a smash hit record.

And as you said, everyone contributed; certain areas of material came from certain individuals.

So when bands work with me and it's 10 o'clock, usually you'd have to be getting out of the studio, we could go on until 2 in the morning cause it's my place!

Some people are just not going to like me and they're not going to like my work. But that doesn't mean I'm a bad person.

Our championship committee pledged to review entry conditions and to assess how women golfers might compete on equal terms with men for a place in the Open.

The first year of the Boot Ride was an amazing experience. Seeing people come out from all over, ride and, most importantly, put on their boots, was an inspiration.

I didn't think then, and I still don't, that I was actually sick.

If you're gonna tell your life story, you gotta be honest, or don't do it.

I don't want to be limited or ghettoized in any way.

While I didn't have everything that I wanted, I was still a happy kid.

I grew up in cattle country-that's why I became a vegetarian. Meat stinks, for the animals, the environment, and your health.

My M.O. over the years is that I make things better, where people give me that freedom.

I'm a bit suspicious of people who are narrow in their musical tastes.

I won't watch that Amir fight from now until I fight Alvarez. I'm not a blown up 147 or a Miguel Cotto. I'm a big 154 lb., and I'm coming of age and coming to win.

I always dreamed of living in N.Y.C.

Where does one go from a world of insanity? Somewhere on the other side of despair.

Sadly, every year hundreds of children are victimized by a convicted sexual offender. Convicted predators should be put in prison where they belong and kept away from our Nation's children.

In America, the people are not subjects of government, the government is subject to the people.

When you buy things that are expensive, like a sofa or something that really feels like an investment, you need to keep it as plain as possible, as simple as possible. Make sure that it's a clean design that will work with whatever style you want it to.

I didn't want to get married - I thought it was like a cult! It seemed so conservative and unnatural.

There was a little movie I did called 'Women In Trouble' that a friend of mine made. That, to me, was a very satisfying project. It was shot so quickly during the writer's strike, and there was no money. It was a really fun project.
