I spend a lot of time working as a painter and in my studio I go from upstairs where I paint to downstairs where I play and record, so I get this thing crossing over.

It's exciting to see if you can create something that sounds, at least to your own ears, exciting.

Ive also just come off a year and a half playing acoustic shows which is fantastic for the hands, and changes your head a little bit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Usually, the best thing is when the band goes to the bar and gets the corner table, we sit there like kings, and then they bring people to us. It's just rock 'n' roll. It's stupid, really.

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.

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.

Actually, I think my hands are in the best shape they've ever been in terms of what I can do.

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

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.

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

I don't go out much to see bands. I prefer to be on stage.

I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.

It's hard to avoid the past but one goes forward.

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

It's been very hard for the guitar as a serious synthesizer to compete with keyboards.

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