It's a very tempting thing to try and relive your glory days when you get a little older and you worry that people have forgotten all about you.

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

Being a solo artist is what I do. It's what I've been doing for the last 20 years and a bit before then.

I tend to fly old airplanes and old sort of things that are nearly about as old as me. Biplanes and stuff like that.

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.

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

I think a lot of things do influence me, but the influence mechanism is as such that these things dive into your brain and bury themselves into your subconscious and you're never quite sure where and how they're going to emerge. I don't think I really take direct influence.
