Greg Lake Quotations

I love touring in the United States. It's dramatically different wherever you go. North to south you're going from snow to palm trees.

Traveling is a bit of a push sometimes. When you're doing a lot of miles and you're doing a lot of shows, it does get wearing.

I understand travel. I understand the experience of travel. I mean there is something of the "air-conditioned gypsy" in me.

I like the sense of the road passing my eyes. It's always a fascinating experience to come into a new city...the sense of the people changing, the food changing, everything changing, the art.

You want each city to be different, not just see the same shopping malls and stores wherever you go. That's not healthy.

Walking through the Capitol Building gives you a sense of how it all began here. It was reassuring to see how restrained it was. It was very humble in a way.

I love to see new talent, new people beginning. It's a wonderful thing, and one wonders where their journey will take them. Sometimes they ask me for advice but it's very difficult to advise people. Everyone has their own destiny really.

I continue to write. It's just one of those things that I do. I'll have periods when I write and periods when I don't. But you don't want it to become a discipline really. If it becomes a discipline, it becomes a chore and that's no good.

To make art you need to be inspired.

Music is an emotional experience, and that is what imprints itself on the soul.
