Why do the faithful have such a will, to believe in something? And call in the name they choose, having chosen nothing.
Ian Anderson

Walk the lines of nature's palm crossed with silver and with gold.

I can never make up my mind if I'm happy being a flute player, or if I wish I were Eric Clapton.

In most cases, my favorite Jethro Tull songs will be determined by how I feel about them as live performance songs, not by the recorded identity.

Oh father high in heaven - smile down upon your sonWho's busy with his money games - his women and his gun.

There's always going to be a little bit of autobiographical content to everything. It's how you lend some authority to what you write - you give it that weight by drawing on your direct experiences and indirect experiences from people that you know well, or a little.

Classical music only really came into my life in 1969. I wish I had heard classical music and church music when I was a teenager or even as a child.

A lot of pop music is about stealing pocket money from children.

I don't think people really do listen. We plug into music, and we have short attention spans. We tend to download individual tracks from iTunes rather than a whole album. We buy music DVDs and watch them once, and then they disappear into a drawer, or we loan them to a friend, and we never watch it again.

Seek that which within lies waiting to begin the fight of your life that is everyday.

I make up my own mind in light of available facts, with my own experience and a sense of personal ethics.

It might work with one orchestra, and the next orchestra - the oboe player might not get it. It's different every time, but some of the orchestras do end up enjoying it and having a great time.
