Famous quotes by Rick Wakeman:

"The new generation is not coming from the media, from radio airplay or whatever because we don't get it,"

"But no, the record industry refused to embrace the idea and so what happens is, people just go ahead and do it anyway, which means there is less and less money going into the industry."

"And the kids are going through their parents' record collections -- I say kids, but really it's everything from the age of 12 up to 20s -- and a lot of them are coming along, and they don't have the ageism thing that a lot of the press do."

"How are you, love?"

"Hold it a minute. This is what everybody is doing at home. Why aren't we doing it for them?"

"If he had been British he would have been knighted for sure and been Sir Bob."

"He calls up regularly to find out what pieces I'm going to play so he can bring the right legs. You couldn't make this stuff up."

"I was born in 1949 - which seems like a long time ago... Actually, it is a long time ago, when I think about it."

"I've been married three times and divorced three times."

"My life revolves around music and always will. I need to be a part of music and not an observer."

"I always say that it's about breaking the rules. But the secret of breaking rules in a way that works is understanding what the rules are in the first place."

"Even the two times that I left, I never really felt like I left the band. It's very bizarre. It's like there's sort of an umbilical cord that stretches between us spiritually."

"My earliest professional musical experiences were really as a session player, and every day was an adventure. Three sessions a day, every day, and you never knew who you would be working with until you arrived at the studio."

"As a songwriter, I was influenced by David Bowie - a great writer. A class above everybody in so many ways. Lennon and McCartney, of course. Class stuff. David Cousins was my favorite lyricist."

"I read numerous books - loads in fact - and, as I always do when recording a historical project, immersed myself into the subject matter. I spent many hours at Henry's old homes, such as Hampton Court, and visiting the Tower of London. I read no other books during that period."

"But I listen to live recordings of things that I did back in the '70s and then how I've done things since. And there's no doubt about it: if I compare the two, it's like chalk and cheese."

"When I die, I'll probably climb out of the coffin and play the organ at my own funeral!"

"But I'd play on everything from pop records to a lot of the glam stuff to rock stuff to classical stuff. I used to get called to do all those things, it was great."

"I like Toronto a lot, it's a good city. The only thing that really annoys me about Toronto is that you're turning Maple Leaf Gardens into a grocery store, which is absolutely nothing short of disgusting."

"Country and western is the music of the devil. That's the real truth of the matter. My late Mother, bless her, loved country and western. God, I couldn't handle it."
