I'd rather duplicate it myself. Another of our favourite techniques.

And the general opinion is we are much better on stage than in the studio.

So I suppose that means we can actually play the instruments.

Don't believe everything you see on VH1.

I've got Arabic music in my blood.

In a film score, the last thing you want to do is take people out of the movie. The music is secondary. In opera, the music is the main event.

Making music has gotten easier; selling it has gotten harder. Making music has been democratized, but the market is in the hands of fascists.

People are disappointed when they hear my American accent because they regard 'The Police' as an English band but I've clung to my American-ness all the way.

The great opera composers were so good at their job, that the whole genre came to be built around the concept of the composer's vision.

Drummers shouldnt just think of themselves as drummers. If youre going to be a musician you should expand your horizons compose things and work with other instruments.

If our friendship depends on things like space and time, we have destroyed our own brotherhood.

We need to be creative, on the cutting edge, challenged, and it's really hard going. It's relentless, and we're relentless, and we have a history of breaking engineers, producers. I mean, people come out of working with U2 and just go, 'I just don't know what's happened; it feels like a lifetime has passed by.' And that's just the way we work.

Being put in a group, I hate that. I don't think anyone likes it. Everyone just wants to be their own person.

Talent is a tenant in the house owned by genius.

My style is not that big. I wear heels, tight pants, and I wear diamonds.

Goodbye is the absolute hardest thing to say because you have to walk away with just a memory and after awhile that memory fades.

It really is amazing that some days you'll come out and you'll feel like you can beat anyone, and then some days you come out and you've got no confidence in the world, and you can't break an egg with a hammer.

You can say the right thing about a product and nobody will listen. You've got to say it in such a way that people will feel it in their gut. Because if they don't feel it, nothing will happen.

The chief condition on which, life, health and vigor depend on, is action. It is by action that an organism develops its faculties, increases its energy, and attains the fulfillment of its destiny.

I can be intense in a lot of ways, but not the way you see the guy in 'The Salvation.'

Years and years ago, I was obsessed with these Pamela Love necklaces, and they had a claw, like an eagle claw, which was silver. Then I found one on this random website. I thought it was a fake claw, and when it arrived, it was a real one, cut off from the animal! It came to my house, and it was disgusting; it was a chicken claw or something.

I really do believe that being naturally beautiful is what is inside and what shines through.

When we love an animal as our family, we begin to understand animals are our family.

There is a higher law than the law of government. That's the law of conscience.

That is how it stiffens, my vision of that seaside childhood. My father died; we moved inland. Whereon those nine first years of my life sealed themselves off like a ship in a bottle - beautiful, inaccessible, obsolete: a fine, white, flying myth.

My cousin in Louisiana started a small company with a little savings, renovating houses. A single mom, she saved enough to buy a home and provide child care for her son. When the economy went belly up, so did her company. She was forced to sell her home and move in with her parents.

I got my family here and my career here and I'm sitting here in the middle, and I'm stuck. So I have to do something, you know, have to reach out and get some help.

Attempts to defend amusement parks and circuses on the grounds that they 'educate' people about animals should not be taken seriously. Such enterprises are part of the commercial entertainment industry. The most important lesson they teach impressionable young minds is that it is acceptable to keep animals in captivity for human amusement.

Go within every day and find the inner strength so that the world will not blow your candle out

Every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive.

I wish that when we weren't filming, we could have full privacy. I wish I could live in a bubble and just be with my family.

Without news to feed it, the biggest story starves.

I like to watch 'Grey's Anatomy' when I'd doing cardio. But, sometimes I do need good music to get me moving. I like high energy songs by artists like Justin Timberlake and Rihanna.
