It's exciting to see if you can create something that sounds, at least to your own ears, exciting.

I don't like playing standards. I like to do my own cutting edge work.

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

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.

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.
