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.

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

Obviously record companies tend to be following what the scene is rather than making the scene.

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.

Little ideas can pop into one's head at any time, and if I'm being reasonably efficient I've got it close enough to hand, then I pop that little tiny moment of a few seconds down onto a tape and then I can forget about it for... years sometimes.

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today And then one day you find, ten years has got behind you No one told you where to run, you missed the starting gun.

Everything in moderation - that's what I live by.
