I think rock records tend to be very expensive.

Sometimes, literally within a few minutes, you'd be off this amazing roaring scene and back at your hotel room, staring at the patten of the wallpaper. It's very surreal. You're back in your room, and it's dead quiet and really weird.

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

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.

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.

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

I am pretty embroiled in moving on and moving forward with music.
