I don't find the business easy. The moment you start talking about the business, you start sounding like someone in Spinal Tap.
From Robert Wyatt
It just doesn't mean anything to me, the high-profile, big money side of things. I just want enough to live on, and to be able to get on with what I do, and hang around my friends.
This constant pressure from record companies to come up with a hit single or something like that, I find completely tiresome.
People say, oh it's a shame, you're not nostalgic about the '60s. Well actually, it's quite good, when you think of it. Wouldn't it be sad if I was sitting here wishing it back?
Being big and famous doesn't get you more freedom, it gets you less.
I really liked them, not just Syd, but all of them. Roger was very important, I thought, his contribution. And so was Rick's organ playing. It was a good band. It became something else completely, obviously.
