Image
I'm often prone to self-doubt about everything I do.
Marc Almond
Image
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
Image
Albums, with me, have never had an easy birth. Especially when all the songs are self-written songs.
Marc Almond
Image
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
Image
I made a creativity out of that messiness.
Marc Almond

People come from all over the world to see this little place they've seen in movies and read about in history books: Soho.
Marc Almond
Image
I was a magnet for people who want to take advantage of people like me, who think they're part of this life but they're not.
Marc Almond
Image
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
Image
I'm not one of these people who thinks everything in the past is great and everything modern is terrible. But I do think cities should be a mix of old things and new things.
Marc Almond
Image
If you were born by the sea, there's always a magnet that draws you back there.
Marc Almond
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I can't read music and I'm crap at learning lyrics. Especially since the accident I have memory problems. I can't remember words, names, places.
Marc Almond
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I don't enjoy being a celebrity, I don't want any part of that or any part of that fame for fame... i'd actually rather die than be a celebrity slime!!!
Marc Almond
Image
Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.
Marc Almond
Image
There's no such thing as 'I can't do it'.
Marc Almond
Image
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.
