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.

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!

In Europe the right wing is bogged down in Nationalism in most cases and still fighting so called Reds.

A good companion is one you wouldnt mind dying with.

The leakage of information means you're going to be able to read everybody's e-mail.

I never work just to work. It's some combination of laziness and self-respect.

It appears I am destined for something; I will live.

And I tell you that's one of the reasons why I didn't have the friendships with the media, maybe like I could have. But I had to do what I had to do to make myself successful.

It's hard for me to even watch comedies I'm in.

All expression of truth does at length take this deep ethical form.

You can really only enjoy life when you're extremely busy.

The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.

Out there in some garage is an entrepreneur whos forging a bullet with your companys name on it.

For cool things to happen, you have to get out of your comfort zone.

I am a strong, black, lesbian woman. Every single time I say it, I feel so much better.

There's a power in women being women. There's a role for men, but we don't have to be men, because we're women. I think that representing that on television is a cool thing.

Your company is probably going to get hacked. The velocity and complexity of hacking attempts has skyrocketed, with companies routinely facing millions of knocks on the vault door.

To become properly acquainted with a truth, we must first have disbelieved it, and disputed against it.

Saving comes too late when you get to the bottom.

Technically speaking, you can build anything out of sand; it doesn't mean you do it.
