If it wasn't good, I wouldn't be going back out on tour.

The best thing about this band is I'm the leader!

I love my mother dearly, but it wouldn't be suitable for me to live with her all the time.

I've never written a book before.

If they want a photograph, then just take it.

If it wasn't good, I wouldn't be going back out on tour.

If you're a good parent, see the changes that are happening in your kids.

We'll be presenting a broad spectrum of the music and looking at how the younger guys can carry it on.

I've gone through hell and back.

I don't care who I play to, as long as they enjoy listening to what I play.

We manage to bounce ideas off one another. Every band fights, but at the end of the day, we're very positive about the way we fight. At least we come out with a result.

I had written movie scores, television series, played with other people. Carl had done the same with Asia, with other bands, everything. We weren't about to entrust Greg automatically with a production credit.

I consider everything I compose a gift.

We can all put weight on or lose weight.

My sons are into German music, but they are into all kinds of music.

Next year I'm going to be a guesting soloist with orchestras all over Europe, to start off with.

I've broken my nose, I've broken ribs. You name it. In fact, we just got back from South America, and I fell over a monitor speaker on the stage and almost ended up in the front row of the audience. I managed to sprain my wrist on that one but luckily nothing was broken.

I remember that I used to mix with my friends who had brothers and sisters. I was an only child.

I was always playing the Hammond Organ back to front even during the days of the Nice, going back to 1968. Really what I was doing there, was choosing notes at random and trying to make some sense of them, improvising back to front.

I'm proud of my kids, they are doing what they want to do.

I'm not a rich man, and Greg Lake is certainly not. I don't know how he can survive. I don't know how he can be that suicidal. But having said that, I'd love to be there to help Greg.

Find a good teacher, as I found for my sons. I feel the worst thing you can do is to try and teach your own children yourself, because there is a natural rebellion that occurs.

I guess when Rick is finished with his Journey to the Centre of the Earth, then we might have a go at something. We'd like to, we're open to it, and we've been talking about it.

There's a clip where he had someone miming me running around from keyboard to keyboard. Oh dear, I am sure a lot of people didn't know what he was going on about.

I don't regard myself as a great classical or jazz pianist. I like country music, but I'm not a great player. I just like music. Drums 'n' bass is pretty exciting and I'd love to explore it.

You've got to keep things flying.

They were keen for me still to play the piano, which I was going to, but 45 minutes of piano would be extremely boring. I like a bit of light and shade.

If we didn't do the tour, it would have been disastrous.

Since this our first show, I think they'll see us sweat a lot.

At the Isle of Wight, the sound went out and kind of kept on going. And I wasn't... when I came off stage I was kind of unhappy about how we had played. But now, I listen back to those recordings and it's not bad.

It sounds like something from a Woody Guthrie song, but it's true; I was raised in a freight car.

The United Nations should come in and take over Liberia, not temporarily, but for life. To make Liberians believe in democracy, to make us believe in human rights, they need to go in and just seize control of the country. That is the only way Liberia will ever become the kind of country it was supposed to be.

When I act, I try to understand the character, why she's behaving like that.

The underlying sense of form in my work has been the system of the universe, or part thereof. For that is a rather large model to work from.

I think New York audiences are some of the brightest in the world, and certainly the most enthusiastic.

The social relations which are the basis of the reproduction of the species are founded upon the continuous union of parents in marriage.

I've watched with a kind of wary eye how gaming has progressed. I was there at the beginning with Pong in the arcade, and a lot of my great childhood memories were around a 'Tempest' machine.

Without true celebration discipline is obnoxious.

To be frank, I suspect that today there is little respect for Christianity as source of moral teaching about goodness.

If you economically empower a woman she represents enormous opportunity that can actually be transformative not only for her family and for her community but at the aggregate level for the economy.

I was a big fan of Jean-Claude Van-Damme growing up, and I always wanted to be a martial artist 'cause of him.

I am single. Acting can make it hard to have profound relationships if you're not careful. You get into this pattern of three-month, four-month jobs and 'what's the next adventure.'

I just don't read reviews, because it can really hurt you.

Immigration is one of the leading contributors to population growth.

A torn jacket is soon mended but hard words bruise the heart of a child.

They are representations of many shared hours of collaboration between us all. That's the real nature of the relationship the orchestra and I are trying to build.

Death ends a life but it does not end a relationship...

My contribution to the world is my ability to draw. I will draw as much as I can for as many people as I can for as long as I can.

I get really excited about jewelry.
