I don't need to manufacture trauma in my life to be creative. I have a big enough reservoir of sadness or emotional trauma to last me.

More quotes by Sting
I made two movies before The Police had a hit record: I did Quadrophenia and a film called Radio On.
Sting
For to sit in a room full of books, and remember the stories they told you, and to know precisely where each one is located and what was happening in your life at time or where you were when you first read it is the languid and distilled pleasure of the connoisseur.
Sting
I can't fly a flag for monogamy or whatever the opposite is it depends on the person and on the situation.
Sting
I never saw no miracle of science that did not go from a blessing to a curse.
Sting
They build machines they can't control, and bury the waste in a great big hole.
Sting
That sense of failure, I don't know where people put it who don't write songs and aren't able to emote physically. It must go somewhere.
Sting
I think the time is right for yoga, we really are living in a very complex time - a time of great turmoil and change. Yoga is a good antidote to all that...It is almost like music in a way there's no end to it.
Sting
The world is ruled by butterflies adding to their weapon piles. Imagine what your taxes buy. We hardly ever try.
Sting
Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong. To win a bloodless battle, the victory is long. A simple act of faith, reason over might. To blow up his children would only prove him right.
Sting
Be yourself, no matter what they say.
Sting
Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than a license for a gun Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can A gentleman will walk but never run
Sting
I feel this music has nurtured me as I've been immersing myself in it. I've felt supported by it.
Sting
It has very little to do with my work, but if your image is not sexy enough, people won't listen. It's part of the game.
Sting
I was brought up as a Catholic and went to church every week and took the sacraments. It never really touched the core of my being.
Sting
Men go crazy in congregation. They only get better one by one.
Sting
Turn the clock to zero, honey, we're starting up a brand new day.
Sting
If I were a Brazilian without land or money or the means to feed my children, I would be burning the rain forest too.
Sting
Security in human systems we're told will always, always last. Emotions are the sail, and blind faith is the mast. Without the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast.
Sting
Every ripple on the ocean, every leaf on every tree, every sand dune in the desert, every power we never see.
Sting
I find that the rhythm of going on long walks will suggest melodies.
Sting
