I don't go out much to see bands. I prefer to be on stage.

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.

I see a vision, its the vision of tomorrow, no force can stop it from manifesting, not even the sun nor the moon.

Manipulating the media is akin to poisoning a nation’s water supply – it affects all of our lives in unimaginable ways.

The first requirement of a statesman is that he be dull. This is not always easy to achieve.

In Copenhagen, we all ride bicycles everywhere, partly because it is impossible to park a car, but also because you can cross the city in 20 minutes on a bike.

Chilli ice cream doesn't taste bad. But I wouldn't eat it again.

A list of authors who have made themselves most beloved and therefore, most comfortable financially, shows that it is our national joy to mistake for the first-rate, the fecund rate.

The word capital, as philologists trace it, comes down to us from a time when wealth was estimated in cattle, and a man's income depended upon the number of head he could keep for their increase.

There is never enough time, unless you're serving it.

I've been writing jokes since I'm fifteen. Not out of happiness, but to go to a different place, because reality wasn't good to me.

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions.
