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
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
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
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
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 think rock records tend to be very expensive.
Andy Summers
I don't go out much to see bands. I prefer to be on stage.
Andy Summers
If you're 20 years old, you've grown up without buying albums.
Andy Summers
My favorite sounds are the high, spacey ones that are very ambient.
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.
Andy Summers
I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.
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
Aping what you've already done is just so dangerous and unrewarding.
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
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!
Andy Summers
It's hard to avoid the past but one goes forward.
Andy Summers
I actually think I play better now than Ive ever played.
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
Start with the titles, and then build the music that goes with them.
