I've learned a long time ago to never say never about the band Kansas.

There's so much interaction between the crowd and the music that it's an incredible moment to be a part of.

I can't think of anybody we toured with that had more impact on us than Queen.

If you're learning a new instrument, have fun.

We [ The Kansas]'re somewhat hard-pressed at this time to imagine any bands that'll be around 40 years from now (and that's our personal opinion).

When we were starting out, there was no "label" as progressive rock - it didn't exist ... so we were just a rock band.

I don't enjoy "Dust in the Wind"as much. But I do enjoy "Song for America," "Carry on, Wayward Son," and many songs- Kansas is really a drummer's dream to play in. And I like 'em all.

We actually had a Kansa band softball team.

The best way to be original is to be yourself.

You are born with only two fears: fear of falling and fear of loud noise. All the rest is learned. And it's a lot of work!

In the 500-channel universe, which may, of course, contain many more channels than 500, the fun never stops - fun at such a fever pitch as to sometimes seem threatening, numbing, even agonizing.

The form of a poem is invisible. A poem is not an "object." This is hard to accept in a mechanical age.

...for Paul faith is always faith in a person. Faith is not the intellectual acceptance of a body of doctrine; faith is faith in a person.
