The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.
Sting
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image

Sting
Image

Sting
Image
Every ripple on the ocean, every leaf on every tree, every sand dune in the desert, every power we never see.

Sting
Image
I've been the lowest low on the planet, I've been a sinner all my days. And I was living with my hands on the trigger, I had no sense to change my ways.
Sting
Image
I don't understand American football at all. It looks like all-in wrestling with crash helmets.
Sting
Image
I don't like singing before noon.
Sting
Image
I'm not speaking as someone who has reached satori or anything else. I'm a student.
Sting
Image
I have a big problem with piped music. I like either silence or to listen to it properly.
Sting
Image
I realize that nothing's as it seems.
Sting
Image
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
Image
I want to get old gracefully. I want to have good posture, I want to be healthy and be an example to my children.
Sting
Image
I feel this music has nurtured me as I've been immersing myself in it. I've felt supported by it.
Sting
Image
I went off to fight some battle that I'd invented inside me.
Sting
Image
Our politicians, they all seemed like game show hosts to me.
