I admire photographers who can take much more ordinarily subject matter and make it transcend that ordinariness, so that it becomes something else fresh and new. It opens this doorway. I really admire people who can do that with photography.

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.

I was totally into jazz in my teens.

More recently, I used guitar synthesizer extensively on the two albums I did with Robert Fripp.

Coming from the era of vinyl you could argue that everything went wrong in the music business the moment we went digital. The day the first CD came out, it all went downhill in the music industry. Digital destroyed everything.

I would like to play with electronic keyboards again.

If I'm playing a violin thing, for instance, I tend to respond to that sound with the way I finger.
