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.

More quotes by Geddy Lee
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.
Geddy Lee
I love to write. It's my first love.
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
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.
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 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
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
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
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 like to practice on the bass, but I don't do it as often as I should.
Geddy Lee
I would like to shift more into writing for and producing people.
Geddy Lee
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.
Geddy Lee
That is what intrigues me songwriting and song structure and expression.
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
With me, satisfaction is always very fleeting with our work. I always get a little restless with it.
Geddy Lee
I feel a little uncomfortable about endorsements.
Geddy Lee
I guess, we were people who just dedicated to trying to get better.
