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

It's crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations.

Our music has depth, and attempts philosophical thought and meaning with discussions of infinity, eternity and mortality. There is a line which people cross that turns it into some magical, mystical realm, for which I dont claim responsibility and dont hold any great truck with.

You don't want to believe everything you hear.

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 think Atom Heart Mother was a good thing to have attempted, but I don't really think the attempt comes off that well.

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.
