David Gilmour Floyd Quotations

I don't want to be a full-time member of Pink Floyd all my life.

The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience's expectation of a Pink Floyd show.

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.

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 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.
