Mark Knopfler

Famous quotes by Mark Knopfler:

"My idea of heaven is a place where the Tyne meets the Delta, where folk music meets the blues"

"Sometimes you're the window; Sometimes you're the bug."

"Everybody has their own ideas of Shangri-La ... I tried to teach myself to enjoy the present, enjoy the now,"

"Emmy brings such a wealth of experience that it's like a director having the finest actress for a film. What is on the page is given a real living dimension and a character who you can see."

"As soon as you hear her taking the line, you see the character. She's not just a girl singing anymore; she's much more representative of something female. I think that's a depth that comes from her massive experience and ability."

"After a while, though, the group just wasn't a good vehicle for the songs I'd written."

"I'm also getting an Ovation Legend, because I like them so much."

"Every guitar I own gets used and has its purpose."

"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."

"I was into playing American music, especially the blues."

"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."

"While listening, to things like western swing, for instance, I'd work something out in my head, then play it on my National; not the same song, but one that captured the feeling of the original tune."

"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."

"Each song has its own secret that's different from another song, and each has its own life. Sometimes it has to be teased out, whereas other times it might come fast. There are no laws about songwriting or producing. It depends on what you're doing, not just who you're doing."
