I remember Adrian [Maben, director] had lots of problems with red tape and dealing with stuff. I think we lost two or three days. Maybe those were the days we had to walk around the summit of Vesuvius, and we went around to the sulfur pits where the ground is bubbling. It's near here. It's fantastic.

I am a lover of all sorts of different music. I love blues and every piece of music that I have listened to has become an influence.

No one can replace Richard Wright. He was my musical partner and my friend.

I am not a technophobe and I am using the latest technology today, some 30-odd years later, and I am really enjoying what some of the new technologies can offer. But at the same time I am always aware that one can get bogged down in that technology and that it can become more than just a method. That's something that you have to be slightly careful of.

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'm afraid I haven't become a born-again Christian. I'm sort of 'Church of England, lapsed' is about as far as I go.

I tend to jot down music.
