“When Sting had an idea for something, I would absolutely listen to him because he’s pretty good at that sort of thing. I’d listen, but I’d forget and instinct would take over. I did my best better, and I really wanted to please others. I wasn’t trying to be stubborn, I just forgot.” -Stewart Copeland
