Roger Andrew Taylor Quotations

It's a nonstop schedule, really. I had lost myself somewhere.

I was burned out. I think I was just exhausted. It was a very intense five years. We didn't stop. It was constant touring, constant writing, recording.

I slowly started to drift back into music again. I finally got the call from John... about getting the band back together again. It was so out of the blue. I almost thought that the moment had passed.

Sometimes the problem is not the people in the band, but the people around the band.

I guess when we were up against it, we knew this album was going to be compared to all the classic early material, because it was going back to the original five.

We're a real democracy. We go through a whole process where everybody is involved in deciding on everything from a drum groove to a guitar sound.

Some people even went off to form another band, Power Station.

As Andy says, being in this band in the early 1980s made you feel like you were part of a pizza. We were always one of the band, one of Duran Duran, or one of the Taylors.

It was over a three-year period that we recorded this album. Everything sounded very different by the time we finished the album.

We're very lucky to be able to go back and reclaim something that was a very special part of all our lives.
