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

Yes was without a singer at that point, cause they were doing ABWH, so you had ABWH, and then you had the 90125 band without a singer.

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

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

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

I've been trying to make records and I describe it almost like a movie for your ears where it's a little unconventional in its shape and form, but there's something that's intriguing in keeping you wanting to wait and see the next frame of film, except in here what's coming around the corner for your ears.

I dont have any assistants, I do it all myself, I dont have any secretaries.

I have always enjoyed different kinds of music.

Don't listen to what anyone tells you about the kind of music you make. Just make it! Be yourself, make your own music, and be totally true to your art. Because it's kind of a selfish thing to be an artist.

Don't pay attention to what anyone is telling you about your personal journey just keep going, because that's what it's all about.

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

You have to let your music be true and then people who want to adopt it as that, they take it on and they love it, and it changes their world.
