I went to a school in Cambridge, which I thought was completely rotten. Yes, hated it. Now they want me to go back there and support this, that, and the other and I haven't managed to pluck up the courage to even face it yet.

I haven't watched it [the film 'Pink Floyd at Pompeii'] in years. I find it excruciating.

People in Italy seem to be very capable of singing along with 'Wish You Were Here' perfectly, yet it's hard to get someone in the street who speaks english.

I tend to jot down music.

Being a musician, being a person who's playing tours and making records is a part-time thing for me at age. I did it, I lived it and I breathed it every day of my life for 30-odd years and now I am slowing down a little bit. But it does not mean that I am any less intense and dedicated to the work that I am doing now. I have other priorities in life as well.

I don't want to be a full-time member of Pink Floyd all my life.

The only way artists can do things is to do it for themselves. Trying to second guess what the public wants or likes is kind of a fool's game.
