Pompeii is an extraordinary place to be because it was preserved exactly as it was. There are many other sites. If you visit any other antiquity-type sites throughout the world, they're very damaged with what's gone on over the centuries since they were abandoned. But this one was just, like, sealed, so you're looking at rock surfaces and the carving of letters and names in the stones looks like it was done yesterday.

I think myself that, rather like books, music is meant to enter into the brain, well via your ears rather than your eyes but, it's - I think a lot more should be left to the imagination.

You don't want to believe everything you hear.

I'm afraid I haven't become a born-again Christian. I'm sort of 'Church of England, lapsed' is about as far as I go.

It's not whether God plays dice; it's how God plays dice.

Adrian Maben came to us with the idea. And we just thought, "Well, why not?" I don't think any of us thought it would be as well received and last in people's minds for as long as it did. All credit to him. It's his idea [Pink Floyd at Pompeii] and it was great.

The music tends to be an expression of one's darker moments.

The future is deterministic in principle, but not in practice.

David Gilmour 54 quotes

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 54 quotes

If you have a live reputation...

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 am in a space now where I can try anything; and with Pink Floyd we've always been in a space where we were able to try out anything. I think we were very young then and we were very keen to experiment and try things out. It seems to me that this sort of experimenting is like working yourself towards something and trying to find what you like and what you want.

My technique is laughable at ...

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.

Being a solo artist is what I do. It's what I've been doing for the last 20 years and a bit before then.

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 54 quotes

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

David Gilmour 54 quotes

The only way artists can do things is to do it for themselves. Trying to second guess what the public wants or likes is kind of a fool's game.

David Gilmour 54 quotes

I think a guitar solo is how my emotion is most freely released, because verbal articulation isn't my strongest communication strength. My wife thinks that I should do interviews by listening to the questions and playing the answer on guitar.

I've never had any religion. I'd prefer it if I did, really. Even as a boy I just couldn't make myself believe.

David Gilmour 54 quotes

I was never particularly gregarious. I was quite shy, closed in. It's a classic isn't it, your psychiatrist will tell you, that's how I release it, through music.

David Gilmour 54 quotes

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.
