More quotes by Sting
I try to give the media as many confusing images as I can to retain my freedom. What's real is for my children and the people I live with.
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
What might save us, me and you, is if the Russians love their children too.
Sting
If you make your living writing, and you can't write anything, it's over. It's very frightening.
Sting
I can't really change my life to accommodate people who are jealous. I don't see why I should.
Sting
Every ripple on the ocean, every leaf on every tree, every sand dune in the desert, every power we never see.
Sting
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear, I like my toast done on one side. And you can hear it in my accent when I talk, I'm an Englishman in New York. See me walking down Fifth Avenue, a walking cane here at my side. I take it everywhere I walk, I'm an Englishman in New York. I'm an alien I'm a legal alien, I'm an Englishman in New York.
Sting
Yoga is almost like music in a way there's no end to it.
Sting
Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.
Sting
A lot of people approach risk as if it's the enemy when it's really fortune's accomplice.
Sting
They build machines they can't control, and bury the waste in a great big hole.
Sting
I hate most of what constitutes rock music, which is basically middle-aged crap.
Sting
I think you can get the wrong impression about me from my work and think I'm always a bit down. I'm not that way at all. I'm fun-loving.
Sting
I made two movies before The Police had a hit record: I did Quadrophenia and a film called Radio On.
Sting
I quite like mistakes. I think they're human.
Sting
My logic's been drowned in a sea of emotion.
Sting
Yoga introduced me to a style of meditation. The only meditation I would have done before would be in the writing of songs.
Sting
Our politicians, they all seemed like game show hosts to me.
Sting
I find that the rhythm of going on long walks will suggest melodies.
Sting
I think I'm a focus for international attention.
Sting
