As Andy says, being in this band in the early 1980s made you feel like you were part of a pizza. We were always one of the band, one of Duran Duran, or one of the Taylors.

I always thought if I had a band it would have the energy and feel of early Police, since that's where my roots are, and then the harmonies of the Eagles, and the technique of King Crimson or something like that. Fast, up-tempo, beat-the-hell-out-of-the-drums, because that's my style. Energy, but sophistication, rhythmically and melodically.

It's amazing to see places like Madison Square Garden on the schedule again.

Everyone always says, 'When you look at a boy band, one of them has to be gay.' No, they don't.

Boredom or being sick of what you've done before is a big part of being in a band.

An important part of being in a band is the rhythm section.
