I don't, consciously anyways, sort of listen to things with the idea of getting something from them that I can use.

No one can replace Richard Wright. He was my musical partner and my friend.

It's a very tempting thing to try and relive your glory days when you get a little older and you worry that people have forgotten all about you.

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?

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.
