I mean, I have moments of huge frustration because of my inability to express myself linguistically as clearly as I would like to.
David Gilmour
Image
I'm English and I am British. I don't know if I feel part of a music scene. Musically, I have as many feelings and affinity with Americans or Canadians, or all sorts of people as I do with English people.

The idea of going around to somebody else's flat or house and sitting around in a comfy room and having a really good hi-fi system and listening to a whole album all the way through, then chatting for a few minutes, then maybe putting another album on . . . does that happen today?

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.

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.

For me, gradually over the years, you refined your tastes in the way you do things and it becomes maybe less experimental.
David Gilmour
Image
I listen to classical music at home probably more than pop music.
David Gilmour

I'm an atheist, and I don't have any belief in an afterlife.
David Gilmour

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.
David Gilmour

Obviously, they're all a gang of idiots. But, you know... live and let live.
David Gilmour

Well, I am David Gilmour, the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd. I have been since I was 21.
David Gilmour

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

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've been in The Who, I've been in The Beatles and I've been in Pink Floyd! Top that!

Where would rock and roll be without feedback?
David Gilmour

If people would like to come to my concerts I'd love them to come. And if they like the music that I make, I love that too. But I do not make music for other people. I make it to please myself.

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