Sting (musician)

I feel this music has nurtured me as I’ve been immersing myself in it. I’ve felt supported by it.

I find that the rhythm of going on long walks will suggest melodies.

I hate most of what constitutes rock music, which is basically middle-aged crap.

Sting

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

I have been through various fitness regimes. I used to run about five miles a day and I did aerobics for a while.

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 realize that nothing’s as it seems.

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

I see songs not as a commodity used up when the album goes off the charts, which is often the case with pop songs. I see them as a body of work. Life should be breathed into them.

Sting

I think I’m a focus for international attention.
