came girl great helping helps love people run shelves staff stock talking
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.
band concert focus help past petty roger
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.
attempts claim cross eternity great hold line meaning music mystical people responsibility truck turns
Our music has depth, and attempts philosophical thought and meaning with discussions of infinity, eternity and mortality. There is a line which people cross that turns it into some magical, mystical realm, for which I don't claim responsibility and don't hold any great truck with.
creeps developed fast guitar intent laughable melodic parts style technique useful
My technique is laughable at times. I have developed a style of my own, I suppose, which creeps around. I don't have to have too much technique for it. I've developed the parts of my technique that are useful to me. I'll never be a very fast guitar player. I don't really know what to say about my style. There's always a melodic intent in there.
birthday carnage died great looking nice party people sad sort
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, and I'm sort of looking at that list.
burden carrying expectation floyd pink pressure relieved snail
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.

They liked the thought of riding around the countryside dispensing justice under a banyan tree.
antipathy fantastic floyd lives main obviously pack pink played pleased point roger several trivial
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.
good piece work
I do really think it is about as good a piece of work as I have ever done.

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.
