- He was the guitarist of the band The Police having replaced original French guitarist Henri Padovani whose stint lasted from January 1977 to August 1977. The other members were Sting and Stewart Copeland. They were one of the world's biggest music acts in the early 1980s.

- I like to show off onstage, and I enjoy the stardom part of it as well, but I'm glad that Sting has had all that attention, because he's been a fantastic focal point.
- No, I never told Stewart that Henri Pandovani should be dumped and that I should replace him. I swear I never said anything so brutal. But I did mention that Police should be a trio. As far as I'm concerned, the Police never really began until I joined.
