I worry about my voice 24/7 when I'm on tour. It's like a pitcher and his arm. It's constantly the thing that my whole life revolves around.

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
Image
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
Image
There was a time when fast playing and fretboard pyrotechnics on the bass were important to me and when I am recording a bass track, that is still very important to me.
Geddy Lee
Image
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.

I guess, we were people who just dedicated to trying to get better.
Geddy Lee

With me, satisfaction is always very fleeting with our work. I always get a little restless with it.

For me, there is a lot of room for improvement and there are a lot of things I would like to be better at.

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.

Some writing and production projects will be a great way to spend my elderly rock years.

I can't remember the first song I learned to play on bass, but the first song I learned to play on guitar was 'For Your Love' by the Yardbirds. That kind of was the beginning for me. I thought it was a great song and I loved the open chord progression at the beginning of that song.

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.

I feel a little uncomfortable about endorsements.

Image
I was taking piano lessons with a very good piano instructor in Toronto, and I'm afraid due to my schedule and discipline, it kind of fell apart. One thing lead to another and I was unable to practice as much as I wanted to.
Geddy Lee
Image
And the meek shall inherit the earth.
Geddy Lee
Image
Then, once I have lyrics, being able to shape them around a song is nothing new for me, I've been doing that for 25 years. The soul searching part of it, the spontaneous part of it, that was, and remains, a really terrific process.

I like to practice on the bass, but I don't do it as often as I should.

I would like to shift more into writing for and producing people.
