Some David Gilmour's quotes. Goto "David Gilmour's quotation" section for more.I mean, I have moments of huge frustration because of my inability to express myself linguistically as clearly as I would like to.
Tags: Express, Mean, MomentsUsually, in the studio, on this sort of thing... you just go out and have a play over it, and see what comes, and it's usually - mostly - the first take that's the best one, and you find yourself repeating yourself thereafter.
Tags: Best, Studio, YourselfEverything in moderation - that's what I live by.
Tags: ModerationIt's a very tempting thing to try and relive your glory days when you get a little older and you worry that people have forgotten all about you.
Tags: Days, Try, WorryI've never had any religion. I'd prefer it if I did, really. Even as a boy I just couldn't make myself believe.
Tags: Boy, Prefer, ReligionI actually learned the guitar with the help of a Pete Seeger instructional record when I was 13 or 14.
Tags: Guitar, Help, LearnedI 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.
Tags: Become, Love, MusicI don't like to get too specific about lyrics. It places limitations on them, and spoils the listeners' interpretation.
Tags: Lyrics, Places, SpecificI just play intuitively and work the same way in the studio. I don't have any magical effects or anything that helps me to get my particular sound.
Tags: Sound, Studio, WorkNo-one can replace Richard Wright - he was my musical partner and my friend.
Tags: Friend, Musical, PartnerThe expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience's expectation of a Pink Floyd show.
Tags: Artist, Audience, ShowWell, I am David Gilmour, the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd. I have been since I was 21.
Tags: Guitar, Since, VoiceI don't even think whether I play the blues or not, I just play whatever feels right at the moment. I also will use any gadget or device that I find that helps me achieve the sort of sound on the guitar that I want to get.
Tags: Guitar, Moment, WhateverI don't have a very disciplined approach to practicing or anything, but I do tend to have a guitar around most of the time, which I strum on most of the day.
