Sting

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
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
Image
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
Image
I've spent too many years at war with myself, the doctor has told me it's not good for my health.
Sting

I have a big problem with piped music. I like either silence or to listen to it properly.
