It's for kids.""It's got four thousand attack power," I coaxed."Five thousand," Nico corrected. "But only if your opponent attacks first."I smiled. "Maybe it's okay to still be a kid once in a while."

"Actually, I only left twice. I left then, and then rejoined literally two years later for Going For The One."

Years

Quote_1.png
Rick Wakeman
"I read numerous books - loads in fact - and, as I always do when recording a historical project, immersed myself into the subject matter. I spent many hours at Henry's old homes, such as Hampton Court, and visiting the Tower of London. I read no other books during that period."

"My faith is very private to me. It plays an important part in my life, but I do not try and throw my beliefs at others. I have tremendous respect for all faiths and beliefs, but have a deep concern that religion and faith are currently a long way apart from each other."

Faith

Rick Wakeman
"I always say that it's about breaking the rules. But the secret of breaking rules in a way that works is understanding what the rules are in the first place."
