More quotes by Sting
I have a big problem with piped music. I like either silence or to listen to it properly.
Sting
I don't think happiness is necessarily the reason we're here. I think we're here to learn and evolve, and the pursuit of knowledge is what alleviates the pain of being human.
Sting
A gentleman will walk but never run.. it takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.. be yourself no matter what they say.
Sting
I don't understand American football at all. It looks like all-in wrestling with crash helmets.
Sting
Like music, yoga is a journey -- one that is long enough so you keep developing, and keep learning. I don't see an end to it.
Sting
My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party.
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'm not speaking as someone who has reached satori or anything else. I'm a student.
Sting
If you love someone, set them free.
Sting
Our politicians, they all seemed like game show hosts to me.
Sting
I think I'm a focus for international attention.
Sting
Intellectually I'm probably a Republican.
Sting
I see music as one language. If one musical form eats its own tail, it dies. So it needs to be a mongrel, it needs to be hybridised.
Sting
Great music as much about the space in between the notes as it is about the notes themselves.
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
The Super Bowl is Americana at its most kitsch and fun.
Sting
My logic's been drowned in a sea of emotion.
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 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
I went off to fight some battle that I'd invented inside me.
Sting
