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

I would like to play with electronic keyboards again.

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.

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

For me, a great show is when there's a great rapport with the band and the audience, and we're all really into it. The first trick is to bring the audience into the band, break the ice, have a life, and be one, so you can enjoy the next hour and a half together.

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

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