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

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 don't even think whether I play the blues or not, I just play whatever feels right at the moment. I also will use any gadget or device that I find that helps me achieve the sort of sound on the guitar that I want to get.
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

It's about the quality of the worry, I said. I have happier worries now than I used to.
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
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
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
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
Everyone goes to rotten schools when they're kids, don't they?
David Gilmour
Image
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today And then one day you find, ten years has got behind you No one told you where to run, you missed the starting gun.

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.
