I want to get old gracefully. I want to have good posture, I want to be healthy and be an example to my children.

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

I really wanted to work with David Lynch. I was a big fan of The Elephant Man and Eraserhead.

I'm not much of a family man. I'm just not that into it. I love kids, I adore them, but I don't want to live my life for them.

I see music as one language. If one musical form eats its own tail, it dies. So it needs to be a mongrel, it needs to be hybridised.

Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.

I try to give the media as many confusing images as I can to retain my freedom. What's real is for my children and the people I live with.
