| 1 | Getting used to the studio and everything was fun, we freaked about a lot. I was working very hard then. |
| 2 | Living in Cambridge, with nature and everything, it's so clean. |
| 3 | I don't really read a lot. Maybe I should. |
| 4 | I do tend to take lines from other lines I like, and then write around them. |
| 5 | Fairy-tales are nice. |
| 6 | A lot of people want to make films and do photography and things, but I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing. |
| 7 | If I'd stayed at college I would have become a teacher. |
| 8 | I never felt so close to a guitar as that silver one with mirrors that I used on stage all the time. |
| 9 | I like songs that are simple. |
| 10 | Have you seen the roses? There's a whole lot of colours. |
| 11 | When we parted I had written everything for the group. My leaving sort of evened things out within the group. |
| 12 | I'd like to be rich. I'd like a lot of money to put into my physicals and to buy food for all my friends. |
| 13 | It's always been too slow for me. Playing. The pace of things. I'm a fast sprinter. The trouble was, after playing in the group for a few months, I couldn't reach that point. |
| 14 | The only work I've done the last two years is interviews. I'm very good at it. |
| 15 | I've just had an operation, but nothing too serious. |
| 16 | I'm full of dust and guitars. |
| 17 | I'm disappearing, avoiding most things. |
| 18 | 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. |
| 19 | I think it's good if a song has more than one meaning. Maybe that kind of song can reach far more people. |
| 20 | I'm treading the backward path. Mostly, I just waste my time. |
| 21 | I think young people should have a lot of fun. But I never seem to have any. |
| 22 | I'm sorry I can't speak very coherently. |
| 23 | I wasn't always this introverted. |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | He was cited as an influence by artists such as David Bowie and Paul Weller. Bowie described Barrett as "so charismatic and such a startlingly original songwriter", as well as being, along with Anthony Newley, one of the first performers he'd heard sing popular music with a British accent. |
| 2 | Was a diabetic |
| 3 | Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of Pink Floyd) in 1996. |
| 4 | The Pink Floyd album, "Wish You Were Here", is a tribute to him. |
| 5 | After leaving Pink Floyd, he recorded two solo albums: "The Madcap Laughs" and "Barrett", both LPs. Additional material from these sessions was compiled and released as the album "Opel" in 1988. |
| 6 | Was a member of Pink Floyd from 1964-1968, and wrote most of the songs on the band's debut album "Piper At The Gates of Dawn" (1967). |
| 7 | During the taping of the band's appearance on The Pat Boone Show (1967) in 1967, he was so stoned that he couldn't even lip-sync his own vocals, much less mime his own guitar playing (bands playing on television in those days would often mime along to their hit records). Syd instead stood, staring stone-faced at the camera. Eventually bassist Roger Waters began lip-syncing his vocals. |
| 8 | Before joining Pink Floyd in 1964, he worked as an actor, painter and writer. |
| 9 | Former member of rock group Pink Floyd. |
