More quotes by Andy Summers
It's hard to avoid the past but one goes forward.
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
I would like to play with electronic keyboards again.
Andy Summers
I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.
Andy Summers
Sometimes, literally within a few minutes, you'd be off this amazing roaring scene and back at your hotel room, staring at the patten of the wallpaper. It's very surreal. You're back in your room, and it's dead quiet and really weird.
Andy Summers
I'm just trying to avoid any sort of generic kind of music - I don't want to do generic jazz or fusion.
Andy Summers
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
The most obvious thing you can't do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.
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
'Triboluminescence' is actually a scientific world meaning striking something and creating light from dark. I thought it was a great word and that is was a very apt metaphor for making music - or any creative act, really. We all start in the dark and have to create light.
Andy Summers
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.
Andy Summers
The thing about photography is, some people surround themselves with extremely strong subject matter. And unless you're a moron, you're going to get a really strong photograph.
Andy Summers
Start with the titles, and then build the music that goes with them.
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
I am pretty embroiled in moving on and moving forward with music.
Andy Summers
I don't go out much to see bands. I prefer to be on stage.
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
What I wanted to do was play the guitar but I don't like instrumental rock. I think it is tripe.
Andy Summers
I admire photographers who can take much more ordinarily subject matter and make it transcend that ordinariness, so that it becomes something else fresh and new. It opens this doorway. I really admire people who can do that with photography.
Andy Summers
It is not very practical in today’s world when you tour all over the place having a big band.
