Well, I am David Gilmour, the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd. I have been since I was 21.

I don't, consciously anyways, sort of listen to things with the idea of getting something from them that I can use.

I think I'm still trying to be experimental on everything I ever do, but it's not as obviously way-out and experimental as what we were.

I don't like to get too specific about lyrics. It places limitations on them, and spoils the listeners' interpretation.

How much in life is determined, and how much is due to chance?

The old ways still apply. You can still send tapes to record companies, and there are record companies, you know, there are one or two of the record companies do declare proudly that they listen to every single one that comes.

I don't even think whether I play the blues or not, I just play whatever feels right at the moment.
