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.

If you love someone, set them free.
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
Image
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.

I made two movies before The Police had a hit record: I did Quadrophenia and a film called Radio On.
