I write on all instruments.

I don't have any assistants, I do it all myself, I don't have any secretaries.

So for my studio purposes, I know that I’m in my studio with technicians who’ve done amazing things to my board and to my power amps and I know what I can deliver out of my studio.

I mean, Beatles songs were two and a half minutes long, and they’re fantastic.

I’d written songs with lots of people, from one spectrum to the other.

I love the feeling of creating pictures in someone’s mind just by spelling out the right lyrical combination.

I’ve had the luxury of owning my own studio, 24 analogue, 48 digital, endless effects, endless hardcore gear, that I don’t have to rent, I don’t get stuck with the bills, it’s all mine.

I love all Yes music and love to play it live, but I’m most interested in making new music with Yes.

So when bands work with me and it’s 10 o’clock, usually you’d have to be getting out of the studio, we could go on until 2 in the morning cause it’s my place!

Don’t pay attention to what anyone is telling you about your personal journey just keep going, because that’s what it’s all about.
