“If I fuckin' die without having written two, three, or four brilliant rock songs… I don't know why I lived my life.”

“You are the answer to every prayer I've offered. You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.”

“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. So, when I left Pink Floyd, I guess I had two, no three choices open to me: Not to do it anymore, which is daft as I was writing songs, although I suppose I could have written for other people, but I like making records; so I could either do it as Roger Waters or I could have got together with other people and said hey, why don't we start a band? But my view of bands had been jaundiced slightly by my previous experience, so I think that was something I never considered.”

“And if I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take but please don't cry, just know that I have made these songs for you, and if I die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to take cause I'm ready for a funeral”

“I went through life without looking at it. I know what my life is. My husband, that is public. The songs, those are my children.”

“I know we don't have any guarantee that we're gonna live tomorrow. That's why I live everyday as it was my last.”

“Let me be as weird as I fuckin' like. It's my fuckin' life.”

“Lately, I feel like my life is a book written in a language I don't know how to read.”

“I try not to take my life for granted. I have friends who have tendinitis. That would kill me. A short break from the violin is fine, but if I don't touch it for three or four days, my fingers start to feel funny.”

“If I abandon this project I would be a man without dreams and I don't want to live like that: I live my life or I end my life with this project.”
