Quotes

• “The world is in your hands, now use it.”
• “Wait for it, wait for it! Anticipation is half the fun. So I've been told...”
• “Stewart Copeland is an amazing drummer. I just wish he didn't think he was amazing. Sting is a lovely bloke. We've become friends. I felt honored to be on stage with him at Live Aid.”
• “I can't remember those words (Lyrics) even when we were on tour.”
• “I wouldn't blow my head off. I'd overdose or do something that didn't hurt. But I wouldn't do that to the children. A comedian who committed suicide in the Sixties left a note saying, 'Too many things went wrong too often.' I often think about that.”
• “They're just horrible. Horrible, horrible guys. They're rude, not as talented as they think they are... I won't mince words here, but they've had a go at me personally.”
