I have no interest in going on a tour to make money without making new product, new art.

We mixed the sounds ourselves. If they were going to put the sound back onto our film [Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii.], we wanted to mix it ourselves.

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

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

It's crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations.

I don't even think whether I play the blues or not, I just play whatever feels right at the moment. I also will use any gadget or device that I find that helps me achieve the sort of sound on the guitar that I want to get.

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.
