I do love using keyboards and I love writing keyboard parts, but I am not a player in the true sense of the word.

I'm basically a cocktail jazz kind of pianist. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a very good keyboard player. People think I think I'm good. I think I'm a very poor piano player.

I can't even tolerate my own playing on electric keyboards. It's not about the musical ideas - the sound itself is toxic. It's like eating plastic broccoli.

I can play piano, and I write everything on piano, but I don't really feel like a piano player, necessarily.

So in one sense you don't have the classic keyboard player in Yes.

I think I'm a very poor piano player.

I'm kind of a one-note at a time, one finger keyboard player.

What I really enjoy and what I do in the studio is play keyboard.

That it's a lot harder to make a keyboard sound not-cheesy than a guitar.

If I had spent a quarter of the time that I spent manipulating my sexuality in front of a piano instead, I would be the most gifted piano player of my lifetime.
