We feel that in the future, groups are going to have to offer much more than just a pop show. They'll have to offer a well-presented theatre show. - Syd Barrett

Well, I'm a painter, I was trained as a painter…I seem to have spent a little less time painting than I might've done…But it didn't transcend the feeling of playing at UFO and those sort of places with the lights and that, the fact that the group was getting bigger and bigger.

That's all I wanted to do as a kid. Play a guitar properly and jump around. But too many people got in the way.

I don't think I'm easy to talk about. I've got a very irregular head. And I'm not anything that you think I am anyway.
