I am in a space now where I can try anything; and with Pink Floyd we've always been in a space where we were able to try out anything. I think we were very young then and we were very keen to experiment and try things out. It seems to me that this sort of experimenting is like working yourself towards something and trying to find what you like and what you want.

For me, gradually over the years, you refined your tastes in the way you do things and it becomes maybe less experimental.

I don't like to get too specific about lyrics. It places limitations on them, and spoils the listeners' interpretation.

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

There's no way out of here.

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 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.
