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.

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 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

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.

You don't want to believe everything you hear.

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

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

I have no interest in going on a tour to make money without making new product, new art.

It's about the quality of the worry, I said. I have happier worries now than I used to.

If you have a live reputation and your popularity is proven that way, then you're bound to get signed up because they see all those people buying those tickets and they think some of those people will buy those records, and that's what their business is primarily about.

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.
