That one record changed everything for me. After Sgt. Pepper, it's the most influential record in the history of rock and roll. It affected Pink Floyd deeply, deeply, deeply.

I'm really good at making teen angst romantic. I'm really good at dealing with heartbreak and things like that and making it into this whole experience.
