What I Always Try To Do Is

I Don't Really Think Of Dire Straits As A Sound, You Know. It. Just Depends On The Song, And The Stuff We're Doing Is So Varied.

I Used To Go To The School Folk Club With My Songs When I Was Only 13 Or So And Say "this Is A Traditional Folk Song" And Sing It With A Bad Irish Accent To Disguise The Real Source.

Every Guitar I Own Gets Used And Has Its Purpose.

I Don't Like Definitions, But If There Is A Definition Of Freedom, It Would Be When You Have Control Over Your Reality To Transform It, To Change It, Rather Than Having It Imposed Upon You. You Can't Really Ask For More Than.

The Music You Make Is Shaped By What You Play It On ... If You Feel That You're Not Getting Enough Out Of A Song, Change The Instrument - Go From An Acoustic To An Electric Or Vice Versa, Or Try An Open Tuning ... Do Something To Shake It Up.
