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

I am working on current material, a new album, and that is all still my main motivation of going out and working. We haven't gotten rid of all the new stuff in favor of the old.
David Gilmour
Image
Our music has depth, and attempts philosophical thought and meaning with discussions of infinity, eternity and mortality. There is a line which people cross that turns it into some magical, mystical realm, for which I dont claim responsibility and dont hold any great truck with.
David Gilmour
Image
How much in life is determined, and how much is due to chance?
David Gilmour
Image
It's about the quality of the worry, I said. I have happier worries now than I used to.
David Gilmour

It's really tough to get happy music going, you know?
David Gilmour

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 remember Adrian [Maben, director] had lots of problems with red tape and dealing with stuff. I think we lost two or three days. Maybe those were the days we had to walk around the summit of Vesuvius, and we went around to the sulfur pits where the ground is bubbling. It's near here. It's fantastic.

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

The old ways still apply. You can still send tapes to record companies, and there are record companies, you know, there are one or two of the record companies do declare proudly that they listen to every single one that comes.

I don't live my life on the road. I'm getting on a bit and there's a lot of other things in my life. Our lovely children and their lives. It's more of a part-time business these days.
David Gilmour
Image
I think once you've seen a song with a video, it limits your own mind's ability to read into it anything other than what you've seen.
David Gilmour
Image
I tend to fly old airplanes and old sort of things that are nearly about as old as me. Biplanes and stuff like that.
David Gilmour
Image
I've been in The Who, I've been in The Beatles and I've been in Pink Floyd! Top that!
David Gilmour
Image
People being incredibly rude and playing music incredibly badly and being incredibly obnoxious has always been a teenage sort of thing.
David Gilmour
Image
I have no interest in going on a tour to make money without making new product, new art.
David Gilmour

People in Italy seem to be very capable of singing along with 'Wish You Were Here' perfectly, yet it's hard to get someone in the street who speaks english.
David Gilmour
Image
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.
David Gilmour
Image
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.

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.
