Q: So, we have to ask you this question, when is it gonna happen,
when is Pink Floyd gonna get back together?
RW: I hate to say when, 'cause it may not happen when, but all I
can say is that I am pretty sure, that within the next year we
will be playing together in the studio.
Q: Really? The rumor that we've heard is that it'll be the year
2001.
RW: Yeah, well...that's too long away!
Q: There was something that showed up, I don't know, in the
paper somewhere.
RW: Well, yeah, I did the calculations, and I maybe started this
rumor that the band works in 7 year cycles, so if the tour
finished in '94, you add seven and it makes it 2001. But I really
thing we'll...we will be doing it before then.

Q: What's the situation with Roger Waters, you probably don't
like to talk about it, but are you guys on better terms nowadays?
RW: Umm...I don't know, and the reason I say 'I don't know' is
'cause I haven't actually spoken to him, or seen him since The
Wall days, which is maybe surprising to you, but, he's certainly
after...he has split from band, from Dave and Nick, he just kind
of disappeared in a sense. He did Amused to Death, I believe, his
album, and I haven't heard anything since then. And quite
honestly, I have no reasons to give him a call, umm, but on the
other hand, if we'd bumped into each other on the street, I'm
sure we'd sit down and have a chat and talk, and try to sort out
our differences.
Q: So you've never like, just thought, 'I should pick up the phone
and call him, I just feel like calling him'?
RW: Sometimes, and then I think, 'well, no, why?' No, it's a...
there is no desire I would say, within the band, Nick, Dave,
myself, at the moment to say "let's see if we can get together all
over again". I'm sure that it's a thing that maybe some fans would
like, and there are rumors that go around saying that it's
happening, but it's not actually the case.

Q: [...] Wanted to ask you, as you were mentioning before we went
into that particular track, that Floyd is back in the in a year or
less, are you gonna stick with that? We are gonna hold you to it!
RW: I personally intend to start working anyway, in my studio early
next year, March, that's what I want to do, and it may well turn
out it'll be starting to prepare music for The Pink Floyd, I don't
know.
