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.

More quotes by Andy Summers
Actually, I think my hands are in the best shape they've ever been in terms of what I can do.
Andy Summers
I don't go out much to see bands. I prefer to be on stage.
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.

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

I think rock records tend to be very expensive.
Andy Summers
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.
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
If you're a guitarist, you should not be intimidated by using your instrument as a synthesizer, but you shouldn't feel that you have to own one, either.
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
The most obvious thing you can't do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.
Andy Summers
I like to play with someone who can cover a lot of ground and someone with whom you can discuss the language at a reasonable level otherwise it gets a bit frustrating.
Andy Summers
I don't like playing standards. I like to do my own cutting edge work.
Andy Summers
It's been very hard for the guitar as a serious synthesizer to compete with keyboards.
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
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.
