More quotes by Marc Almond
I thought, I might not look my best, I've forgotten half the words to my songs and I'm suffering from post-traumatic stress, but I've just got to get out there and do it.
Marc Almond
Soho has got to be at its centre. It's got such a history for rock, pop, poetry, jazz, writers, all those things, and I think it should be valued as such, and protected as this centre for bohemia.
Marc Almond
It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.
Marc Almond
I thought, I'm in my late 50s now, am I ever gonna get the chance to do another album again?
Marc Almond
Albums, with me, have never had an easy birth. Especially when all the songs are self-written songs.
Marc Almond
I think the older I get the more creative I get, I don't have the distractions that I had when I was younger.
Marc Almond
Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.
Marc Almond
Maybe I was a bit harsh on some people. But I was harshest on myself, really.
Marc Almond
That's what I like to do, I like to make songs.
Marc Almond
I like situations that force me to rethink things.
Marc Almond
The way the business things work in Russia is you have to meet people, you have to go through a certain amount of etiquette and business things are done just simply by a shake of the hand and whether they like you or not.
Marc Almond
For me it always comes down to what is a good song and I'm very old fashioned in the way that I like to make songs that have something classic about them whether you can play them with an orchestra or an electro synthesizer or an acoustic guitar.
Marc Almond
I've always loved the rock & roll element to live shows, because whatever else I do, I'm basically a rock/pop performer, and that's what I like.
Marc Almond
People always go on about sleaze, but I think it's only a small part of what I write about.
Marc Almond
If you were born by the sea, there's always a magnet that draws you back there.
Marc Almond
On my Instagram, I'm always keeping a record of things being pulled down in Soho and shutters being closed. Every city - and London more than anywhere - has got to be a vibrant mix of all different things. We can't allow it to become a monoculture.
Marc Almond
I was very much a mess, as a person. I'd come from a very turbulent teenage life, with parents who had broken up in a very bad way, and a lot of illness at school.
Marc Almond
So often, the singer is the sound of the record. People think they can cover anything, but the whole voice is the thing that's unrepeatable.
Marc Almond
There's no such thing as 'I can't do it'.
Marc Almond
I've got so much I want to do, and not a lot of time to do it in. People say to me, You really shouldn't do so many records, because it actually harms your career.
Marc Almond
