For me, the guitar synthesizer is a great writing instrument.

Usually, the best thing is when the band goes to the bar and gets the corner table, we sit there like kings, and then they bring people to us. It's just rock 'n' roll. It's stupid, really.

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.

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.

I think rock records tend to be very expensive.

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

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