We sing in English, not mimicking some American rock singer's accent. That's just pretending to be something you ain't.

All hippies around now just represent complete apathy.

People are disappointed when they hear my American accent because they regard 'The Police' as an English band but I've clung to my American-ness all the way.

‎You excuse me, but I know a way of speaking marvelous accent without a slightest English.

I know I'm not Freddie Mercury or Ann Wilson, and that's okay. You don't have to be a great singer to sing rock and roll. That's not what it's about.

I'm the only one in my family with an American accent.
