capable conditions definitive feelings honest interview talking thoughts
We wanted to put something definitive down for the record, but the conditions were two friends talking one-on-one. It makes it a revealing, honest interchange of feelings and thoughts that no interview would have been capable of doing.

I existed before Star Trek. I started in live television.

central concept fiction future might music parts rock science theme
I think that prog rock is the science fiction of music. Science fiction speculates on what the future might be and look like and how we'll get there, and yet there's always a central theme of humanity, or there should be. Progressive rock has the same concept of exploration into the parts of the music world that hasn't been explored.

He'd written me a letter and I didn't recognize the name until my children clapped and said, 'You've got to do this,'
