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.

The music tends to be an expression of one's darker moments.

People being incredibly rude and playing music incredibly badly and being incredibly obnoxious has always been a teenage sort of thing.

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.

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.

My technique is laughable at times. I have developed a style of my own, I suppose, which creeps around. I don't have to have too much technique for it. I've developed the parts of my technique that are useful to me. I'll never be a very fast guitar player. I don't really know what to say about my style. There's always a melodic intent in there.
