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.

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

I don't want to be a full-time member of Pink Floyd all my life.

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.

Don't bait your breath. That's bad for your health.

I just play intuitively and work the same way in the studio. I don't have any magical effects or anything that helps me to get my particular sound.

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.
