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

I mean, I have moments of huge frustration because of my inability to express myself linguistically as clearly as I would like to.

You know, once you've had that guitar up so loud on the stage, where you can lean back and volume will stop you from falling backward, that's a hard drug to kick.

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 fly old airplanes and old sort of things that are nearly about as old as me. Biplanes and stuff like that.

Jimi Hendrix isn't as good as me!

Pompeii is an extraordinary place to be because it was preserved exactly as it was. There are many other sites. If you visit any other antiquity-type sites throughout the world, they're very damaged with what's gone on over the centuries since they were abandoned. But this one was just, like, sealed, so you're looking at rock surfaces and the carving of letters and names in the stones looks like it was done yesterday.
