More quotes by Greg Lake
I couldn't say there is a formula to songwriting. Each time is a unique experience.
Greg Lake
I continue to write. It's just one of those things that I do. I'll have periods when I write and periods when I don't. But you don't want it to become a discipline really. If it becomes a discipline, it becomes a chore and that's no good.
Greg Lake
When you are in a band for a number of years you loose your identity in a way. You become a part of that band and then all of a sudden you are not part of that band. You are still the band without the other two members.
Greg Lake
Still...you turn me on
Greg Lake
To make art you need to be inspired.
Greg Lake
I like the sense of the road passing my eyes. It's always a fascinating experience to come into a new city...the sense of the people changing, the food changing, everything changing, the art.
Greg Lake
I would like to involve myself in some black music. I would like to do some blues and some gospel music. I want to try stuff from other genres and try to widen my musical base.
Greg Lake
There is no standing still because time is moving forward.
Greg Lake
When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.
Greg Lake
I feel with ELP that I wasn't making the most of my life and I wasn't making the most of my creativity. I was marking time. I don't want to do that. Life is to short.
Greg Lake
I understand travel. I understand the experience of travel. I mean there is something of the air-conditioned gypsy in me.
Greg Lake
Music is an emotional experience, and that is what imprints itself on the soul.
Greg Lake
Making a comeback is one of the most difficult things to do with dignity.
Greg Lake
Sometimes you have to grit your teeth and remain tenacious and just believe the end will come. Other times it's not an issue. You just write on and the end comes naturally.
Greg Lake
As I said to Ringo, I was in a successful Rock N Roll band. He was in a band that changed the world. That's the difference.
Greg Lake
As long as people want to hear me play and as long as I'm able to play, then I will. I enjoy playing and performing. If I wasn't doing that, what else would I do?
Greg Lake
I love touring in the United States. It's dramatically different wherever you go. North to south you're going from snow to palm trees.
Greg Lake
I don't think art is a goal orientated business. I don't do things for the challenges, I only do them because I love them, I'm not really a goal orientated, achiever type of person.
Greg Lake
