The idea of going around to somebody else's flat or house and sitting around in a comfy room and having a really good hi-fi system and listening to a whole album all the way through, then chatting for a few minutes, then maybe putting another album on . . . does that happen today?

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

I like watching sports, you know, all sorts of stuff.

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

Being a solo artist is what I do. It's what I've been doing for the last 20 years and a bit before then.

Personally, I'm not very keen on the visualization of absolutely everything.

I don't live my life on the road. I'm getting on a bit and there's a lot of other things in my life. Our lovely children and their lives. It's more of a part-time business these days.
