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
When people talk about gender-benders and bracket me with George, I always think I'm not like that. I had more of a rock edge, mixed with the 80s electro.
Marc Almond
I think there's always been singers like that and i've done my fair share of cheese as well.
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
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
Maybe I was a bit harsh on some people. But I was harshest on myself, really.
Marc Almond
Albums, with me, have never had an easy birth. Especially when all the songs are self-written songs.
Marc Almond
That's the way I work and one day I won't have the energy to do it, so I think it's always good to make the most of your life and living as much as possible.
Marc Almond
Sometimes I ask myself, Should I be out in a club? But it's about realising I don't need to be always chasing after being who I was 20 or 30 years ago.
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
I'm the most indecisive person in the world. I'll do three versions of a song, then think, Is the demo better?
Marc Almond
I mean whatever I do it's important that I put my stamp on it and keep it in my world, whether I'm doing a dance track or something like the Russian album for example.
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
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 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
You can't keep pursuing pop success, and chasing the past.
Marc Almond
It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.
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
I'm often prone to self-doubt about everything I do.
