Rick Wakeman on why he didn't like performing drunk: "Everything ends up sounding like Tales From Topographic Oceans".

Rick on Drama: "That was one of the albums I wasn't invited to play on".

Rick on Owner Of A Lonely Heart: "Didn't play on it, would have loved to have played on it. My bank manager wishes I had played on it, as well.

Keith Emerson, recounting his first meeting with Jimmy Smith, where Smith exclaimed, "I know who you are. You're that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ from England who plays all that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up ♥♥♥♥, aren't you?".

Carl Palmer on Love Beach: "And then there are those albums you're less proud of...", then when I held up my LP copy of the album (which I had brought to the show for him to sign), without missing a beat, Carl points to me and says "I am sorry, there are no refunds!"

Peter Gabriel once comment, though maybe he wasn't joking, he couldn't understand why none of the other band members liked the suggestion of calling the group Gabriel's Angels.

I've seen what you can do on the computer. That's a -- that's a video 'cause um, you're all -- everybody has computer skills, and uh, you know, your parents, when you're young and you're playing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Pokemon Red, and you're blowing your mom and dad's mind with how "he saved the file! How'd he do that? Hey, my kid's got computer skills!" So everybody hehehehehe, so we all sorta think that we um, that somehow I mean that somehow we'd be able to serve a function, or serve a purpose, or add -- bring value to the table in the corporate world, and it's not true at all, hahaha.
