A little girl came up to me the other day and said, 'Do you live here?' ... I have a great staff that helps me run the place, but I really love being out on the floor, helping people stock shelves and talking to customers. |
All grocery stores used to be closed on Sunday, ... There's the sane world and the insane world - I choose to live in the sane world. |
Any squabble Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if re-forming for this concert will help focus attention, then it's got to be worthwhile. |
I do really think it is about as good a piece of work as I have ever done. |
I had a fantastic time. We hadn't played as Pink Floyd in 10 years and hadn't played with Roger in 25. |
I had a fantastic time. We hadn't played as Pink Floyd in 10 years and hadn't played with Roger in 25. The main thing was obviously the cause, but I was also pleased to get some of that personal, trivial antipathy that's been part of our lives for so long and pack that away. For several days, Roger and I went out together. I'm very pleased that we're now at a point where we can talk. |
I had a great party for my 50th birthday, and I'm having a nice little one this time. But it's sad how many people aren't going to be there because they've died in the intervening years. There's been a lot of carnage around me. |

I told him, 'This stuff better taste better than it looks, and it better look really good,' |
I wish Roger absolutely well. But I can't imagine doing more than a one-off with him and the other guys at this point. It's been such a joyful experience working with the team I have now; nothing could make me happier than the situation I'm in. I'm extremely lucky. |
I'm an atheist, and I don't have any belief in an afterlife. You could say that I'm resigned to the fact that this wonderful life that we get here is it. And having hit 60, it's a good time to get resigned to these things and not be too nervous or upset - and enjoy what great times one can have. |
I'm very relieved not to be carrying the burden around, the big snail shell. Because it sometimes does feel like a big weight. The pressure of expectation is just too big. The whole Pink Floyd name, carting it around ... I don't want to be there at the moment. |
I've had a fantastic time making On an Island and really want to perform tracks from it, along with my more familiar repertoire. |
It's a powerful thing, this old Pink Floyd business. Look at all the stories that followed Live 8—'Will they get back together? Will they tour together?' It's all so mysterious. |
It's an atheistic song, you could say, about how people live on in your dreams and your memories. And that's the only place I can meet up with these people. It's a very sad thing, remembered with joy. |
