The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Mark Knopfler
- There’s so many different worlds, so many different suns. And we have just one world, but we live in different ones.
- As far as being a ‘player’s player,’ you’ve only got to go to Nashville or Argentina and you can forget about it. The world is full of amazing guitar players, and you know it, and I know it…it’s a humbling experience.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- What I always try to do is to respond to the song; I’ve always rebelled against theory.
- When you point your finger ’cause your plan fell through You got three more fingers pointing back at you!
- Then came the churches, then came the schools, then came the lawyers, then came the rules.
- 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.
