More quotes by Sting
I've spent a bit of time with the Prince of Wales, who I respect greatly. I'd give two cheers for the Monarchy.
Sting
I've spent too many years at war with myself, the doctor has told me it's not good for my health.
Sting
I don't like singing before noon.
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
I find that the rhythm of going on long walks will suggest melodies.
Sting
My friends are Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen, and we're singing about mortality, getting older. It's an interesting time.
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
The world is ruled by butterflies adding to their weapon piles. Imagine what your taxes buy. We hardly ever try.
Sting
I always stayed fit because I'm a performer, and all of those things help me to perform.
Sting
Intellectually I'm probably a Republican.
Sting
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.
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 learned to change my accent in England, your accent identifies you very strongly with a class, and I did not want to be held back.
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
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
I'm not speaking as someone who has reached satori or anything else. I'm a student.
Sting
Peter Townshend shows us it's all right to grow up. There is dignity after rock'n'roll.
Sting
Be yourself, no matter what they say.
Sting
Great music as much about the space in between the notes as it is about the notes themselves.
Sting
I think I mentioned to Bob [Geldof] I could make love for eight hours. What I didn't say was that this included four hours of begging and then dinner and a movie.
Sting
