My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party.

I made two movies before The Police had a hit record: I did Quadrophenia and a film called Radio On.

I was famous overnight. I went from nowhere to being really big.

I realize that nothing's as it seems.

That sense of failure, I don't know where people put it who don't write songs and aren't able to emote physically. It must go somewhere.

I think I mentioned to Bob [Geldof] I could make love for eight hours. What I didn't say was that this included four hours of begging and then dinner and a movie.

Humans make the mistake of believing that it is their right to survive. Species die out on this planet all the time without anyone noticing. The planet will still be there, and we must lose this attitude of divine right, that something will save us.
