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!

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!

Nor should we exclude the possibility that Islamic terrorism may begin to make common cause with Western political extremists of the far Left and far Right.

We used to think that revolutions are the cause of change. Actually it is the other way around: change prepares the ground for revolution.

Our income are like our shoes; if too small, they gall and pinch us; but if too large, they cause us to stumble and trip.

The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause.

To believe in a just law of cause and effect, carrying with it a punishment or a reward, is to believe in righteousness.

I wish I knew at 14 not to put much thought into what other people my age said to me, cause we were all looking for the answers. So I wish I knew that other people really don't know any more than you do!

One of the things that has always motivated me to write is the desire to get it out and look at it in an objective way, so that it doesn't cause me any serious pain by staying inside.

There are nuclear weapons in China, Iran, Korea and Pakistan. It wouldn't take much to send a couple of warheads off on this planet somewhere that would cause a lot of environmental damage, then if you have got someone who wants to retaliate you have real problems.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

You have to not listen to the nay sayers because there will be many and often they'll be much more qualified than you and cause you to sort of doubt yourself.

A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope.

While some no other cause for life can give, but a dull habitude to live.

The intelligence investigation under the leadership of Senator Church, which I know has helped cause this investigation by you, points out that the agencies did not disclose certain facts to us and that certain plots were going on.

I accept extinction as best explaining disjoined species. I see that the same cause must have reduced many species of great range to small, and that it may have reduced large genera to so small, and of families.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.

You know, people want to honor me, and on the one hand I just don't want to be a poster child; but on the other, I want to do something classy and great - something where the residuals will go to the cause.

It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.

I think that feeling that if one believed absolutely in any cause, then one must have the confidence, the self-certainty, to go through with that particular course of action.
