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

People being incredibly rude and playing music incredibly badly and being incredibly obnoxious has always been a teenage sort of thing.

The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience's expectation of a Pink Floyd show.

I don't even think whether I play the blues or not, I just play whatever feels right at the moment. I also will use any gadget or device that I find that helps me achieve the sort of sound on the guitar that I want to get.

Make life an art rather than art from life.

I think a lot of things do influence me, but the influence mechanism is as such that these things dive into your brain and bury themselves into your subconscious and you're never quite sure where and how they're going to emerge. I don't think I really take direct influence.

The only way artists can do things is to do it for themselves. Trying to second guess what the public wants or likes is kind of a fool's game.
