“I've gone through hell and back.”

“Find a good teacher, as I found for my sons. I feel the worst thing you can do is to try and teach your own children yourself, because there is a natural rebellion that occurs.”

“I've broken my nose, I've broken ribs. You name it. In fact, we just got back from South America, and I fell over a monitor speaker on the stage and almost ended up in the front row of the audience. I managed to sprain my wrist on that one but luckily nothing was broken.”

“Since this our first show, I think they'll see us sweat a lot.”

“If it wasn't good, I wouldn't be going back out on tour.”

“I consider everything I compose a gift.”

“We'll be presenting a broad spectrum of the music and looking at how the younger guys can carry it on.”

“I don't care who I play to, as long as they enjoy listening to what I play.”

“I guess when Rick is finished with his Journey to the Centre of the Earth, then we might have a go at something. We'd like to, we're open to it, and we've been talking about it.”
