I've never written a book before.

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.

I've laid my friends bare.

I never think that a film should answer questions for you. I think it should make you ask a lot of questions.

I'm not the healthiest eater; I'll admit that. I love junk food.

Letters actually work. Even the top dog himself takes time every day to read 10 letters that are picked out by staff. I can tell you that every official that I've ever worked with will tell you about the letters they get and what they mean.

Literature is a textually transmitted disease normally contracted in childhood.

Companies, to date, have often used the excuse that they are only beholden to their shareholders, but we need shareholders to think of themselves as stakeholders in the well being of society as well.

When we try to write a pop song, we go for standard pop arrangements, even to the point where we will go to the key change at the end, which is really cheesy.

Leading economists have shown that by shrinking Texas, we can actually create more income for Texas in the long run.

I was a switchboard operator on the first season of 'Mad Men.' I was the oldest and bitterest.

In any situation that calls for you to persuade, convince or manage someone or a group of people to do something, the ability to tell a purposeful story will be your secret sauce. Telling to win through purposeful stories is situation, industry, gender, demographic, and psychographic-agnostic. It's an all-purpose, everyone wins tool.

I felt weary of the responsibility of owning houses and was glad enough to pass mine on to others.

Webern was a kind of 'Kamchatka of music,' an unknown country of music. That's true; for me and people of my generation, he was a radical - you couldn't be more radical than he was.

The nominal budget is a poor indicator of the impact of government outlays and revenues.

We access virtually every producing basin, whether for natural gas or crude oil, in the U.S. and Canada.

What created Silicon Valley was a culture of openness, and there is no future to Silicon Valley without it.

Losing makes you strong.

Most people believe that results matter. The idea that results matter is one that you have to keep letting go of. And most of the time, I believe it.

The political scene is already so turgid, it doesn't need more of that from me.

If people are talking about me, I want it to be because of the work I'm doing and not the person I'm seeing.
