David Knopfler on the importance of a website:

You have your own website - www.knopfler.com - which you run yourself. How important a platform is this to you?

About as important as remembering to brush your teeth, put the bin out or keep your workspaces free of clutter. It's just one of those things I encumbered myself with in the pioneering days and it's now just another facet of marketing and promotion that, if neglected, becomes a liability.
