It's hard to avoid the past but one goes forward.

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.

Any blunder committed in the past opens the avenue for the success of the future. However, the success of the future massively is fueled by the how positively the mistakes of the past are handled!

The humanity we all share is more important than the mental illnesses we may not

The patience and forbearance of the poor are among the strongest bulwarks of the rich.

There are two sins of men that are bred in the bone and that continually come out in the flesh. One is self-dependence and the other is self-exultation.

The more socially intelligent you are, the happier and more robust and more enjoyable your relationships will be.

No man dies before his hour. The time you leave behind was no more yours, than that which was before your birth, and concerneth you no more.

Let work itself be the ambition.

Philosophy has degenerated into ideology.

Philosophy, for me, is a way of relearning to look at the world, a world that is familiar to us, that we know, that is shared by all human beings and also by nonhuman beings.
