I think we are coming to a new era where people will record much faster.

If you're a guitarist, you should not be intimidated by using your instrument as a synthesizer, but you shouldn't feel that you have to own one, either.

I've got four or five records in my head at a time that I try to work on and I would like to do a guitar trio record next - since The Police I've mostly made records with keyboards.

In The Police, in a trio situation - which I've come back to now - it's just so wide open that it does actually provide this arena where you can play with a certain freedom.

What I wanted to do was play the guitar but I don't like instrumental rock. I think it is tripe.

My favorite sounds are the high, spacey ones that are very ambient.

I spend a lot of time working as a painter and in my studio I go from upstairs where I paint to downstairs where I play and record, so I get this thing crossing over.

I'm just trying to avoid any sort of generic kind of music - I don't want to do generic jazz or fusion.

For me, the guitar synthesizer is a great writing instrument.

More recently, I used guitar synthesizer extensively on the two albums I did with Robert Fripp.

It's been very hard for the guitar as a serious synthesizer to compete with keyboards.

Hypocrisy annoys me, people need to look into mirrors. Let me hold a mirror in front of your face.

I live quietly at home among my family and friends.

Friendship often ends in love but love in friendship – never.

Men speak from knowledge, women from imagination.

The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain.

All interesting heroes have an Achilles heel.

I want to do something crazy for a part - something I'd never even consider in real life.

To find his own salvation, a man must first find the fool locked inside himself and set it free.

One man in a meeting, filled with unbelief, can make a place for the devil to have a seat.
