“We fought during 'The Wall,' which was an album Waters wrote, based on his family story, we clashed long before that, during the period of the Dark Side and 'Wish You Were Here.' Actually, we never got along.” — Richard (Rick) Wright.
Dave Harris & Richard Wright, photographed for their project album, ‘Identity’, MCMLXXXIV.
Identity with Zee's David Harris. Really a super experimental album. Rick was not connected with the project and most of the ideas came from David. Actually Richard suffered a kind of blank between 1979 and 1987 when he was reintegrated in Pink Floyd as an official member.

Q: ‘I think Mr. Wright's keyboard work during the early Floyd years was one of the most distinctive elements of the band's sound, and was definitely a key to the band's success. Who were the influences on this keyboard style in the beginning?’
“That is interesting. I would have to say, not necessarily keyboard players actually influenced my sound. For example, I can give you a good example, one of the people I was very influenced by was Miles Davis, the trumpeter and his style of playing the trumpet certainly influenced the way I played the keyboards and also Bill Evans. Simply look at Jazz and that has influenced my way of playing the keyboard.” — Richard (Rick) Wright.

"I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all." — Richard (Rick) Wright.
