Usually, in the studio, on this sort of thing... you just go out and have a play over it, and see what comes, and it's usually - mostly - the first take that's the best one, and you find yourself repeating yourself thereafter.

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

I listen to classical music at home probably more than pop music.

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

I can't remember really what it's like to do it within Pink Floyd. In my mind, that's a thing of the past.

I can remember a lot of nights performing in those early years where you felt that you hit some good moments, but a lot of the time you're thinking, "Oh, God, this isn't quite making it." So I think that is what makes you in the end refine your view of things a little bit.

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.
