More quotes by Gary Kemp
I keep my house tidy, because then I can think clearly. I feel the same about myself. Presenting yourself well is a working-class thing - my dad was a printer, but he wore a tie most days. The ungroomed look belongs more to the middle classes.
Gary Kemp
Don't give pain to others.
Gary Kemp
It's always an honour doing anything for your country.
Gary Kemp
Your life is the same wherever you go.
Gary Kemp
My life is routine-obsessed. I'm OCD, and if I'm not at home, I always get up early and exercise. I don't crash and burn at night, not these days, so early-ish to bed. At home, I have three small boys who bring me down to earth with school runs and endless meals.
Gary Kemp
Punk was sort of an angry stance against things that had happened just before, against the pop of glam rock, against progressive rock. Music had become very staid and it was about the playing and people obsessed. Eric Clapton was God and we needed an enema within the art form, and punk did do that.
Gary Kemp
I detest that saying Everything happens for a reason its nonsense.
Gary Kemp
I've been through Hell with some of the members of my old band, and Hell is highly stressful.
Gary Kemp
For 24 hours a day, for 10 years, all I thought about was being in a band. That's all I did. I had no other social life. I don't want my life to be like that now. I've spent the past 10 years having a real life as well. But Spandau Ballet is such a difficult shadow to outrun.
Gary Kemp
The breakup of my first marriage was my first failure I had to learn to accept that and support the people involved. The court case brought against me by three of the band was awful, but learning how to let it go, move on, and come back together as friends and creative partners was a life lesson above any other.
Gary Kemp
It's a shame because we experienced probably the greatest thing - in art, in pop - we'll ever do. And it would be good to sit around and talk about it.
Gary Kemp
We were on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, which was hardly rock 'n' roll, but it pleased me.
Gary Kemp
I think sometimes my controlling instincts came out of a fear of other people.
Gary Kemp
I've always thought that actors wanted to be pop musicians and pop musicians wanted to be actors.
Gary Kemp
Love is family, support, priority, and understanding.
Gary Kemp
In the '80s the band was 24/7. You were only as good as what you were producing at any given moment. Now my family is more important. I also think having the shock of your mum and dad dying humbles you slightly.
Gary Kemp
I think I tried to control situations within my first marriage and I wasn't the easiest person to live with.
Gary Kemp
I think my younger self would be more amazed to know I was doing an interview for 'The Spectator.
Gary Kemp
Road cycling, especially up mountains. It's the heady mixture of endorphins and aesthetics that I love. My wife does it too, and being with her in extreme but beautiful conditions adds to the experience and our relationship.
Gary Kemp
Do not dehumanize others.
