great horn relationship work
I would work with Trevor Horn any day of the week. I have a great relationship with him.
fan marquee
I was a big Who fan when I was 15, 16 years old, and I used to go watch them play at the Marquee Club in London as often as I could.
I think what the story of Yes has been is we've wandered in and out of different styles over the years.
I think I'll not attempt to do a 'Fish Out Of Water 2.'
basic modern roll sounds studio work
I like working with modern sounds in the studio as much as I'm happy to work with a basic rock n' roll format.
developed few people tricks
I learned to do a few tricks that other people hadn't done before. I developed that trebly bass thing a little further.
hope
I hope, after I'm gone, there will still be a Yes.
except few occasions played
I have never played anything live - except for a few special occasions - from 'Fish Out of Water.'
hated session work
I couldn't get session work because most musicians hated my style.
album pieces
'Fragile,' of course, was a very successful album for us, especially here in the States. It had a lot of solo pieces on it, though.

All movies, when they're about the music business, tend to have a bit of a wide latitude in terms of how things really were.

After awhile, you start realizing that change is good for you. It's healthy.

Pull the good out of it and not worry about the drawbacks.
