Start with the titles, and then build the music that goes with them.

It's hard to avoid the past but one goes forward.

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.

You don't want to be so far off the planet that you come out with something that doesn't make sense to anybody.

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

To go see a band in a big venue is a difficult experience. I don't really like that too much. I'm not a guy who puts on iTunes and goes, "Oh, what's hot!" I don't need to.

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