Quote

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.

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

For me, gradually over the years, you refined your tastes in the way you do things and it becomes maybe less experimental.
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.

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.

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

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

I think I'm still trying to be experimental on everything I ever do, but it's not as obviously way-out and experimental as what we were.
David Gilmour

Where would rock and roll be without feedback?
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

I listen to classical music at home probably more than pop music.

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?
David Gilmour

It's really tough to get happy music going, you know?

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.

People being incredibly rude and playing music incredibly badly and being incredibly obnoxious has always been a teenage sort of thing.
