If you are in a band or in any situation with other people there are obviously brilliant aspects to it, but there are also things that you start finding yourself tied to.

How much in life is determined, and how much is due to chance?

I've sort of remarried a few years ago and have had a couple more children in the last couple of years. And so home life is taking up a lot of my time.

You don't want to believe everything you hear.

I think I'm still trying to be experimental on everything I ever do, but it's not as obviously way-out and experimental as what we were.

I am in a space now where I can try anything; and with Pink Floyd we've always been in a space where we were able to try out anything. I think we were very young then and we were very keen to experiment and try things out. It seems to me that this sort of experimenting is like working yourself towards something and trying to find what you like and what you want.

To be honest, I don't listen to groups, really. Hardly ever. I know I'm in one, but I don't like them very much.
