Marc Almond

Image
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
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
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.

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
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
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
Image
People always go on about sleaze, but I think it's only a small part of what I write about.
Marc Almond
Image
I'm always more interested in trying things that will push me, and I don't care if I fall flat on my face doing it.
Marc Almond
Image
Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.
Marc Almond
Image
I thought, I'm in my late 50s now, am I ever gonna get the chance to do another album again?
Marc Almond
Image
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
Image
I'm often prone to self-doubt about everything I do.
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
