SC Interview from that ES:TPIO event in Tokyo

[DirtyMartini]

A friend just mailed this link to me: http://pingmag.jp/2007/04/05/stewart-co ... ne-stares/
(I'll add it to the Links section as well.)

I haven't actually read it yet but found some interesting moments while skimming it:


Q: By the way, when you split up, it was rumored that you had a big argument. Was that true?

SC: We did have a huge argument. In fact, last week we were still having a huge argument. (laughs) Everything is different now - but nothing has changed. We spent all day with myself wanting the music going faster and Sting wanting it slower, I want the music louder, Sting wants it more quiet… all day we were arguing but at the dinner we all laughed about it. We love each other. I guess he woke up one morning and thought “I bet Stewart will slow down.” He was wrong!



Q: You have a world tour coming up - so it will take a while for us to get to see it, I guess?

SC: I have to see how this Police thing works out because The Police consumes everything. I only found out about this last year when I was making this movie. It ate my life! Everything I planned for that year I had to put aside because The Police is bigger than anything in my life. Well, Sting found that out a couple of weeks ago, too. I really enjoy watching him right now. He thought he could open the door a little bit and see what it’s like. But it’s not that easy!

Q: So what is The Police for you in one word?

SC: Godzilla! (laughs)

Stewart hangs out with Michel Gondry?!

Ya and this part made me panic too, in the happy kind of way:

"I was actually planning to make another film, until one day Sting called up. So all of my plans were destroyed! Indeed, I have a lot of footage of all different kinds of bands, such as The Clash, The B-52’s, or Talking Heads… from punks to hippies, all bands from that specific period. I could bring my camera even in their dressing room and shoot on stage, too. Nobody stopped me. So that’s the kind of film I want to make next."

He's kind of cute... in a nerdy way.

Thanks for the link, DirtyMartini!

But somehow, on clicking it, an error message says ''this page cannot be
shown''....

>The Police is bigger than anything in my life. Well, Sting found that out a couple of weeks ago , too.

So glad to hear that!!

I can't seem to open the link either!

[DirtyMartini]

Hmm . . . I dunno, Midori and yobculture. It's a pretty straight-forward link. Maybe the link only wants to work for the eastern US?

Try again, and if you can't get in, let me know and I can always email the text to you two.

Now the like can be seen!

Perfect! I was looking for an english article like this to everyone on this
site but I could't.

This interview makes me feel as if I were there!
