When I was given this job I said I would only teach the people that I truly, truly love. Unfortunately, none of those happen to be Chinese, or women.

That’s the great illusion of ...

That’s the great illusion of travel, of course, the notion that there’s somewhere to get to. A place where you can finally say, Ah, I’ve arrived. (Of course there is no such place. There’s only a succession of waitings until you go home.)

I am working on current material, a new album, and that is all still my main motivation of going out and working. We haven't gotten rid of all the new stuff in favor of the old.

David Gilmour 54 quotes

Obviously record companies tend to be following what the scene is rather than making the scene.

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.

David Gilmour 54 quotes

Little ideas can pop into one...

Little ideas can pop into one's head at any time, and if I'm being reasonably efficient I've got it close enough to hand, then I pop that little tiny moment of a few seconds down onto a tape and then I can forget about it for... years sometimes.

I tend to fly old airplanes and old sort of things that are nearly about as old as me. Biplanes and stuff like that.

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 54 quotes

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 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 54 quotes

I think a lot of things do in...

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.

David Gilmour 54 quotes

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.

David Gilmour 54 quotes

The old ways still apply. You...

The old ways still apply. You can still send tapes to record companies, and there are record companies, you know, there are one or two of the record companies do declare proudly that they listen to every single one that comes.

David Gilmour 54 quotes

I'm English and I am British....

I'm English and I am British. I don't know if I feel part of a music scene. Musically, I have as many feelings and affinity with Americans or Canadians, or all sorts of people as I do with English people.

David Gilmour 54 quotes

I don't even think whether I play the blues or not, I just play whatever feels right at the moment.

David Gilmour 54 quotes

It's not true that you fall in love only once in your life. But it is true that you only fall in love a certain way, with a certain absoluteness, once.

David Gilmour 54 quotes

Being a musician, being a per...

Being a musician, being a person who's playing tours and making records is a part-time thing for me at age. I did it, I lived it and I breathed it every day of my life for 30-odd years and now I am slowing down a little bit. But it does not mean that I am any less intense and dedicated to the work that I am doing now. I have other priorities in life as well.

Personally, I'm not very keen on the visualization of absolutely everything.

David Gilmour 54 quotes

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

I've been in The Who, I've been in The Beatles and I've been in Pink Floyd! Top that!
