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'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.

I was totally into jazz in my teens.

Start with the titles, and then build the music that goes with them.

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.

More recently, I used guitar synthesizer extensively on the two albums I did with Robert Fripp.

As an artist, I move along in my life, into whatever things I'm doing, and I hear things where it's like, Oh, that'd be a great [song] title! I'll use that! So I keep a running list of titles on my computer. I've got these words and phrases that just sustained my interest. So I'm a step ahead, really, with the titling!
