More quotes by Andy Summers
You're on the stage and you've got all those people yelling at you, so you better be right in the moment, reacting to that. It's completely live and organic. Even 20 years later, it's the same thing. You may be even better on your instrument. Hopefully, you are.
Andy Summers
It accumulates over the years and I've led so many bands of my own now and forced myself into new situations... You would hope that you play better and better - until you just get too feeble to do it anymore.
Andy Summers
You come off of this screaming audience of many, many thousands of people. I used to find it very weird. You have two choices. Either you can stay and pump flesh with hundreds of people after the show, which really gets old, or you can come off stage, get into the car, and go straight out the back and away, back to the hotel.
Andy Summers
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.

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.
Andy Summers
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.
Andy Summers
Aping what you've already done is just so dangerous and unrewarding.
Andy Summers
It's exciting to see if you can create something that sounds, at least to your own ears, exciting.
Andy Summers
You don't want to be so far off the planet that you come out with something that doesn't make sense to anybody.
Andy Summers
What you aim for, in the first place, is to be as good as you can possibly be. This is what I do, and I'm going to try to be the best in the world.
Andy Summers
More recently, I used guitar synthesizer extensively on the two albums I did with Robert Fripp.
Andy Summers
I am pretty embroiled in moving on and moving forward with music.
Andy Summers
It is not very practical in today’s world when you tour all over the place having a big band.
Andy Summers
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.
Andy Summers
For me, the guitar synthesizer is a great writing instrument.
Andy Summers
There was a period when I'd just come out of college where I'd been playing classical guitar and I suddenly realised that it wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.
Andy Summers
Im better for it and I prefer to keep things simple and see what sounds I can get out of my head and hands rather than relying on a sound that someone else created.
