Being a solo artist is what I do. It's what I've been doing for the last 20 years and a bit before then.

My technique is laughable at times. I have developed a style of my own, I suppose, which creeps around. I don't have to have too much technique for it. I've developed the parts of my technique that are useful to me. I'll never be a very fast guitar player. I don't really know what to say about my style. There's always a melodic intent in there.

To be honest, I don't listen to groups, really. Hardly ever. I know I'm in one, but I don't like them very much.

I don't know what you wanna describe as Rock 'n' Roll, but I certainly thought that 60s stuff, Bob Dylan and the Beatles, changed the world a little bit. But the effect seems to have retreated. I think it's harder than we think to change the world. These things go in cycles. It doesn't seem to have done an awful lot of good, does it? You know, all the talk of racial harmony and equality in the world... we haven't got a long way since the 60s.

I think myself that, rather like books, music is meant to enter into the brain, well via your ears rather than your eyes but, it's - I think a lot more should be left to the imagination.

I've played rugby at school a bit. I didn't play football at school; I played football after school.

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