Personally, I'm not very keen on the visualization of absolutely everything.
David Gilmour

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 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 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.

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.

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

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

People being incredibly rude and playing music incredibly badly and being incredibly obnoxious has always been a teenage sort of thing.
David Gilmour
Image
She was a stirrer of the pot, a lover of intrigue and distress, a creature who seemed to draw oxygen from the spectacle of people at each other's throat, everybody in a state of upset and talking about her.
David Gilmour
Image
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.
David Gilmour

I'm an atheist, and I don't have any belief in an afterlife.
David Gilmour
Image
How much in life is determined, and how much is due to chance?
David Gilmour
Image
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
