More quotes by Geddy Lee
So, I really don't consider myself a fabulous keyboard player.
Geddy Lee
My emotions are very simple and always have been about the Hall of Fame. It's something that I had absolutely nothing to do with and had no control over, so I never thought much about it, to be frank.
Geddy Lee
I feel safe and comfortable to do that once I know that the song structure around the bass part is very interesting and it satisfies me in a compositional sense.
Geddy Lee
Some writing and production projects will be a great way to spend my elderly rock years.
Geddy Lee
And the meek shall inherit the earth.
Geddy Lee
I feel a little uncomfortable about endorsements.
Geddy Lee
So, I don't know what is going to happen when the CD comes out, how well it will sell, etc. But, from a personal point of view, it was a very worthwhile endeavor.
Geddy Lee
I like to be able to come and go as I please, and I don't really like having my face and name plastered around. I think it's a bit weird to have your name plastered on every page in a magazine, where in each case you're using a different piece of equipment.
Geddy Lee
If you have some magical chemistry that actually find the music you make compelling, that is a big bonus.
Geddy Lee
I guess, we were people who just dedicated to trying to get better.
Geddy Lee
First of all, when you live in a country like Canada, it's quite different from America in the sense that it's very tied to traditions that were born in Britain.
Geddy Lee
I have a lot of hobbies and I can be very remiss in reminding myself to go down to the basement to work.
Geddy Lee
I would like to shift more into writing for and producing people.
Geddy Lee
Back in the day, fans wrote letters to groups - you'd get them, although it could take a while. Now, artists can go online and there's discussions about what you should and shouldn't be doing. The minute you announce that you're recording an album, thousands of people are telling you what that album should be.
Geddy Lee
It's a battle between record company, between producer and between mastering engineer. Because the louder you make your record in a digital process, the more dynamics are squished out of it. Nobody knows exactly what happens, but the dynamics in the performance disappear, and everything is at the same volume.
Geddy Lee
For me, there is a lot of room for improvement and there are a lot of things I would like to be better at.
Geddy Lee
Music is all about wanting to be better at it.
Geddy Lee
I do love using keyboards and I love writing keyboard parts, but I am not a player in the true sense of the word.
Geddy Lee
But, I would be naive not to recognize the number of musicians who tell me they have been influenced by me and sight me - as well as Alex and Neil - as a musician who has been a positive influence on their playing.
Geddy Lee
I have such an extreme attitude about work, where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict, I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes.
Geddy Lee
