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.

Personally, I'm not very keen on the visualization of absolutely everything.
David Gilmour
Image
It's really tough to get happy music going, you know?
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.
David Gilmour
Image
I'm an atheist, and I don't have any belief in an afterlife.
David Gilmour
Image
Yes, there's a lot of the blues in my playing.
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
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.

The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience's expectation of a Pink Floyd show.
David Gilmour
Image
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
Image
Obviously, they're all a gang of idiots. But, you know... live and let live.
David Gilmour
Image
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.
David Gilmour
Image
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
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.
David Gilmour

Where would rock and roll be without feedback?
David Gilmour
Image
I listen to classical music at home probably more than pop music.
David Gilmour
Image
I don't want to be a full-time member of Pink Floyd all my life.
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
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
Image
The music tends to be an expression of one's darker moments.
