I find it incredibly difficult to write anything that's really happy.

I'm English and I am British. I don't know if I feel part of a music scene. Musically, I have as many feelings and affinity with Americans or Canadians, or all sorts of people as I do with English people.

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

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.

The future is deterministic in principle, but not in practice.

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

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