On the marquee of the TLA in Philadelphia once: "JON ANDERSON PRESENTS A WORK IN PROGRESS"
I thought that was kind of all-time pretentious in a way that you can only forgive him for and laugh

I am having a hard time respecting Jon Anderson as a lyricist, but he is a great singer with a distinctive voice, and also a good composer.

You've recently become an American citizen. What factors lead to that decision?
I'm a big believer in the policies of Obama. It's a crazy world when half the country doesn't believe in him. I've been in the U.S. for 25 years and I thought it was time I became a part of the change.
Early on in life, you wanted to be a soccer player. How different would your life had been if you had been successful in that sport?
Oh my God, I was just talking soccer with a friend of mine. I am a huge Manchester United fan. When I was 9 years old, I was the mascot for my hometown team. But now, I am a big fan of American football. I am a 49ers fan. I know that won't go down too well in Dallas.
Do you go to many games?
My wife and I have been to a few. We were so devastated when the Giants beat us, but at least the Giants won the Super Bowl, so we were beaten by the best team.
Is it true you were once a milk man?
Yes, I worked on a farm with my brother. We would get up every morning at 5:30. I was 10 years old and I did that until I was 14. We would deliver milk and eggs to the families that lived around us. We would get a week off in the summer and two days off for Christmas. It was a tough life. It made me a good worker.
