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.

More quotes by 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
I prefer to think of myself as a musician who is still learning and trying to do something every time out.
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
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
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
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
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 would like to shift more into writing for and producing people.
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
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
That is what intrigues me songwriting and song structure and expression.
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 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
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
Music is all about wanting to be better at it.
Geddy Lee
I guess, we were people who just dedicated to trying to get better.
Geddy Lee
And the meek shall inherit the earth.
Geddy Lee
If you have some magical chemistry that actually find the music you make compelling, that is a big bonus.
Geddy Lee
With me, satisfaction is always very fleeting with our work. I always get a little restless with it.
Geddy Lee
It's hard for me to just practice without writing something.
Geddy Lee
