How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?
Roger Waters
In the finished article, the only thing that is important is whether it moves you or not. There is nothing else that is important at all.
Roger Waters
...why is an artist an artist? Artists simply do feel and see things in a different way to other people. In a way it's a blessing, but it can also be a terrible curse. There's a great deal of satisfaction to be earned from it but often it's also a terrible burden.
Roger Waters

You run and you run to catch up to the sun but it's sinking, racing around to come up behind you again.
Roger Waters

Roger Waters
I think there are things in my story that have helped my creativity. Your father being killed, for instance, is one of the best things that could happen to a kid if he's going to write poetry or songs.
Roger Waters
People are encouraged by what I do. You can feel it. I feel it. People are ready to embrace their humanity and to embrace the rest of the human race. People are ready for the idea that we're all brothers and sisters and that we need to cooperate with one another.
Roger Waters
You can draw a line between what I'm interested in and what I'm not interested in. On one side you can name Dylan and Lennon, who observe the world and have feelings, and write songs directly from those feelings. On the vapid side you have pop groups who need material and write songs to fill the hole, rather than getting somebody else.
Roger Waters
Envy is the bond between the hopeful and the damned
Roger Waters
I found that the loudest fans in the world are in Istanbul.
Roger Waters
In my rear view mirror the sun is going down sinking behind bridges in the road and I think of all the good things that we have left undone and I suffer premonitions confirm suspicions of the holocaust to come.
Roger Waters
