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

There's no religion but sex and music.

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

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.

I write the music, produce it and the band plays within the parameters that I set.
