People are getting away from the whole album experience, it's true. I think that's sad. Maybe I'm just saying that because I'm an old fart. But I can't help it - albums are what I grew up with, and I still love them.

I think the whole '2112' album took somewhere around a week to do.

I feel lucky that I can have people laugh solidly for a whole hour by just saying what I think and getting paid for it.

I think we're quite unique in that we do have our own sound and approach and we don't really care what's going on elsewhere... we've never wanted to be part of another trend or movement.

It's trippy to think we have an album that's 10 years old. It's even trippier to think we have a couple of albums older than that.

Rush has never been a spontaneous group. We may be spontaneous in our writing, we may be spontaneous as individuals in our day to day lives... certainly I think am and always have been, but I think when it comes to Rush and our presentation of our music it's quite controlled.
