The most obvious thing you can't do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.

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.

If you want to learn to do something right, watch someone who has done it successfully.

Having money is about handling it the correct way. In my lifetime, I've both lost and made millions.

A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether.

People can so easily be tempted by slackness... and by money.

Success is knowing that one other human being has breathed a little easier because you lived.

Our goal should be that we're going to live life to the fullest, pursuing our passions and dreams, and when it comes our time to go, we will have used as much of our potential as possible.

I am not trying to change the world. I am just offering my gift that God gave me, and if somebody is moved by it, that's beautiful.

I was like, 'Huh? You want my jersey?'

Live every day with an attitude of gratitude.

Assumptions are usually presumptuous but often correct.
