The way Yes works is when we have a new member come in, as in Jon Davison, it's appropriate that we see what differences we can get out of a new contributing member in order to keep Yes interesting.

I think partly the problem with Yes - and I've had this discussion with people from the Hall of Fame in the past - is that it's going to be difficult to decide how many of the members of Yes you're gonna put in it and how many you're not because of the extensive membership of the band through the years.

I have the philosophy of yes. If anybody asks me to do a job, I say, 'Yes.' I've said yes to everything.

I always watched the show thinking, 'Wouldn't it be great to be a member?', but I never thought it would happen.

I've never been a yes man.

The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.

'Yes' is a far more potent word than 'no' in American politics. By adopting the positions which animate the political agenda for the other side, one can disarm them and leave them sputtering with nothing to say.

If by chance people would still offer me roles, I'd still like to do them. But if not, that's OK.
