When You Point Your Finger

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.

I Just Want To Be Able To Play And Make People Feel Good With What I Do. When You're Thinking That Way, Anything Can Happen. And, Usually, What Happens Is Good.

While I Was Into Many Different Types Of Music, And Played With Many Different Local Groups, I Really Didn't Have A Band To Call My Own Until Dire Straits Was Formed In 1977.

My Idea Of Heaven Is A Place Where The Tyne Meets The Delta, Where Folk Music Meets The Blues.
