I don't like to get too specific about lyrics. It places limitations on them, and spoils the listeners' interpretation.
David Gilmour
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.
David Gilmour
The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience's expectation of a Pink Floyd show.
David Gilmour
I can't help other people's frustrations. I don't owe people anything. 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.
David Gilmour
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.
David Gilmour
I love singing. I have spent as much of my life trying to improve my singing as I have practising guitar.
David Gilmour
I don't want to be a full-time member of Pink Floyd all my life.
David Gilmour
I am a lover of all sorts of different music. I love blues and every piece of music that I have listened to has become an influence.
David Gilmour
Well, I am David Gilmour, the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd. I have been since I was 21.
David Gilmour
