Syd Barrett citáty

“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.”

“Syd was so full of whimsy as well as horrible gas. I swear to God that the early recording sessions of Pink Floyd always smelled like a strange mixture of rotten eggs, rancid cabbage, and crap.”

“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.”

“Well, I've got a colour telly, and a fridge. I've got some pork chops in the fridge, but the chops keep going off, so I have to keep buying more.”

“I'm full of dust and guitars…”

“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.”

“It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here, and I'm most obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here.”

“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.”

“Their choice of material was always very much to do with what they were thinking as architecture students. Rather unexciting people, I would've thought, primarily. I mean, anybody walking into an art school like that would've been tricked--maybe they were working their entry into an art school.”

“And what exactly is a dream, and what exactly is a joke?”

“I remember the last time we were in the studio that Nick (Mason) ripped this fart. It was one of the most atrocious things the others had ever smelled in their lives. While Roger and Rick fled in terror, I asked Nick for seconds.”
