Richard Wright & Pink Floyd, Live Performances of ‘The Wall’ 1980.

“I thought, if I’m going to leave at least I know I’ve got another month or so to carry on working – even possibly with the hope in the back of my mind that things might change. On the live performances Roger was being reasonably friendly. It was difficult but I tried to forget all my grudges, and I enjoyed playing The Wall. I put everything I could into the performances, and I think Roger approved of that. We would talk civilly to each other. It wasn’t too bad at all.” — Richard (Rick) Wright.

“For me, playing music is like meditating - I just play and don't really think about what I'm doing, I just let it happen.” — Richard (Rick) Wright.

"Just listen to Syd's songs, the imagination that he had. If he hadn't had this complete breakdown, he could easily be one of the greatest songwriters today. I think it's one of the saddest stories in rock "n' roll, what happened to Syd. He was brilliant - and such a nice guy.” — Richard Wright.

“Adrian Maben came to us with the idea. And we just thought, "Well, why not?" I don't think any of us thought it would be as well received and last in people's minds for as long as it did. All credit to him. It's his idea [Pink Floyd at Pompeii] and it was great.” — David Gilmour.

“We worked very hard to make the lyrics suit the music. I can't, like Elton John, for example, compose by lyrics. Elton has a great talent for that. Whatever you give him, including your questions, he composes in half an hour and makes a great song out of it.” — Richard (Rick) Wright.

“It was while we were recording the last Floyd Album, The Division Bell. The idea for this record was inspired, sadly, by my personal experiences with a close friend whi was suffering from depression. I wanted to express my feelings about what I was seeing. It wasn't a healing process, as such, as I wasn't the person suffering, but it made me come to terms with my own feelings about what I was witnessing.” — Richard (Rick) Wright.

“I know for a fact that heaven and hell are here on earth.”

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.

“I'm treading the backward path. Mostly, I just waste my time.” — Syd Barrett.
