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

Commercial record has never interested me. It's amazing I was in a band like The Police that had such phenomenal commercial success. Part of what made The Police what it was was that we didn't all come in with obvious mainstream musical tastes. We were a rock band and somehow we had to make rock music, but it was informed by a lot of things outside of the mainstream for sure.

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

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

I would like to play with electronic keyboards again.

Ive also just come off a year and a half playing acoustic shows which is fantastic for the hands, and changes your head a little bit.

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.
