I've NEVER got laid from playing in a band! It just doesn't work the same for women!

My favorite quote is from The Rhythmatist:

"You've got to walk tall while paddling in the weird places."

I've always suspected that ...

One other quote I liked was in (I think) an interview on the Electric Sky podcast. The interviewer asked Stewart the ages of his children, he paused for a second and then rattled them off, and then said "I can't remember any of their names, but I have a mnemonic to remember their ages". Tee hee!

Actually, does anyone know exactly the names of Stew's offspring?

I know he has a Jordan and a Patrick. Who are the other 5?

Ok, I know this gets asked every so often, let's see...

Sven, Jordan, Scott, Patrick, Eve, Celeste, Grace?

Did I get that right? That's what wikipedia says...

by **Kalypso** on 17 Jul 2007 01:17

Oh, so he has 6 sons, not 7. Sven is not his son, he kind of adopted him. I remember from the old times he was the son of Sonja and someone else.
The girls have beautiful names, and I am sure they will be very pretty like their mom-

The beginning of that interview mentions that it is part of a longer interview which was supposedly to be included with the remastered Police catalogue. Does anyone know if this actually happened? I'd love to listen to the whole thing - it was a hilarious read!

Stewart..."He's superior to me because I'm less humble than him... I'm an arrogant twat"

Stewart..."We now refer to Sting as OUR DEAR LEADER"
Andy: "On a good day"

Jools Holland: Maybe one or two words from you Stewart
Stewart: 2 words? F**K OFF!! :lol:

"Its absolutely brilliant, a paradigm of the cosmos!"

[quote="Hannaha"][quote="Lynne"][quote="Hannaha"]Pffft. Don't argue with the cellist![/quote]

Yes I really am! that's me in the photo in my avatar. I'm not professional though - just an amateur on the side. Been playing for about 27 years though![/quote]

Well..."CELLOOOOO" TO YOU HANNAHA! (ala jack black school of rock)
I personally enjoy the Kronos Quartet, especially their version of Hendix's "Purple Haze." I hav a vid of them playing it on a live tv show in the 90's.

My fav Stew quotes:
1) From ATW video: (singing)"Loaded and ready for action!"(w/ his 8mm camera in hand!)
2) Also from ATW:(Stew backstage pissed after show)
Miles - "Bring Towels! Drinks!"
Stew - (loud and angry)"Shut The F**king Door!"
Andy - (calmly and humorous)"and shut the f**king door"

If you don't own The Police Around The World Video, you're missing out on something really special...so go get it!

Taking about his composing
KATIE: And you've also said that every scene has a tempo and you just have to sit with it and discover it, that it's almost like an act of skofery rather than inventing.

STEWART: Seems that way. It seems as if the piece of music is already there. Sometimes I feel like an archaeologist uncovering something and you'll follow along, you find a bit of a wall or tomb and you follow it and then suddenly it disappears and you dig around in front of it and then you dig around to the left, to the right, ah, there it is. It's taken a different direction and you find it. Although it's creation, it actually -- the sensation is more like discovery.

STEWART: . Drums are a fun instrument. I have a whole string of drummer jokes. How do you tell if a drummer is knocking at the door? The knock speeds up. [Laughter] But I got some guitarist jokes, too. How do you stop a guitarist from drowning? You take your foot off his head. [Laughter] or what do you throw a drowning guitarist? His amp! [Laughter].

KATIE: You've done so much varied things. You have done opera, you've done small ensembles. Rock and roll what is it you haven't done that you feel yourself moving toward?

STEWART: Underwater ballet, the synchronized swimming! The water thing! [Laughter]. I have always wanted to be a synchronized swimmer!

All great ones here....and as cpriddims mentioned, lots of great ones from ATW. One of my favs from that vid would be 'I've got all their names and numbers....I'm having them shipped home in little porcelin dolls'

For the written word, I'll go with 'Fuck Off You Cunt'....classic.

Well I love whatever he says on POLICE AROUND THE WORLD...
but ... while in Hong Kong:

" I had the whole shop wrapped up and sent back to London for me..."

then he gets this really tiny package... and says...

" SHOPS COME REALLY SMALL HERE" ... and he smiles...

And it took me a LONG TIME to realize this one...

When Chinese gal is sort of "harrasing" Sting... Stewart sings:

"Itchy Subi you dont have to put on the green lantern"
Chinese version of...
Roxanne you dont have to put on the red light!! :lol:

he was deliberately calling this gal a SLOT!!! hahahaha
God... just love that part!!!!
