I just play intuitively and work the same way in the studio. I don't have any magical effects or anything that helps me to get my particular sound.

Obviously record companies tend to be following what the scene is rather than making the scene.

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

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

Little ideas can pop into one's head at any time, and if I'm being reasonably efficient I've got it close enough to hand, then I pop that little tiny moment of a few seconds down onto a tape and then I can forget about it for... years sometimes.

I haven't felt compelled to go back in the studio and do anything serious. I have a little sort of home studio thing which I potter about in occasionally.

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.
