Roger Waters
 All my life, ... I have been preoccupied with the great tragedy of losing family in wars. The pain of losing a parent or a child in (an act of) violence that is purposefully and directly generated by political forces is in a certain way harder to bear than if someone dies in, say, an accident. The death feels more preventable. |
| Although it's rooted in the history of the revolution, its philosophical slant is, I suppose, contemporary as well, ... It's more than just a history of the French Revolution, it's a piece about the human potential for change. |
| be given the opportunity to put the band back together, even if it's only for a few numbers. |
| But when push came to shove, ... I think it stuck in the Gallic craw that a) I was English and b) I had been in a pop group — though the French are better at allowing movement between disciplines. Then Nadine died, and we put the project on the shelf. I picked it up again in '95. |
| Each small candle lights a corner of the dark When the wheel of pain stops turning And the branding iron stops burning When the children can be children When the desperados weaken When the tide rolls into greet them And the natural law of science Greets the humble and the mighty And a billion candles burning Lights the dark side of every human mind |
| Either you write songs or you don't. And if you do write songs like I do, I think there's a natural desire to want to make records. |
| Eventually, though, ... Sony urged me to use English instead of French, so I wrote an English version of Etienne and Nadine's work, and then I felt compelled to expand on their original text. Their work was really a series of gorgeous tableaux, and I added more personal narrative and history for some of the characters. |
| For us the most important thing is to be visual, and for the cats watching us to have fun. This is all we want. We get very upset if people get bored when we're only half way through smashing the second set. Then all of a sudden they hear Arnold Layne and they flip all over again. |
| He was in custody when our officers got there, ... There's no need for an investigation. We didn't lay a hand on him. |
| I always used to look at books and wonder how anybody could come up with so many words. But my divorce and then falling in love with somebody else has released in me an ability to write in other ways apart from songs. |
| I confess I've never felt like a passenger. |
| I could have been an architect, but I don't think I'd have been very happy. Nearly all modern architecture is a silly game as far as I can see. |
| I had at one point this rather depressing image of some alien culture seeing the death of this planet - coming down in their spaceships and sniffing around; finding all our skeletons sitting around our TV sets and trying to work out why our end came before its time and they come to the conclusion that we amused ourselves to death. |
| I think Syd was destined to unhinge with or without acid, frankly, but there is no question that certainly acid and probably hash as well, have an exacerbating effect on that collection of symptoms that we call schizophrenia. You couldn't find anything more likely to accelerate or exacerbate those symptoms. |
| I would not rule out going to Israel because I disapprove of the foreign policy any more than I would refuse to play in the UK because I disapprove of (British Prime Minister) Tony Blair's foreign policy. |
