Richard Wright, Interviewed for his album ‘Broken China’ , around 1996.
“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.

"Paint Box" and "Remember A Day" were done soon after Syd left and we still hadn't established the way the band was going to work. Syd, I am sad to say, was no longer capable of working so it came down to Roger, Dave and myself writing songs and I think it came later that we started writing songs together. For example, "Echoes" was where we discovered the best music we created at the time was when all three us of got together and collaborated rather than individually coming to the studio with a song.” — Richard (Rick) Wright.
