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 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
Albums, with me, have never had an easy birth. Especially when all the songs are self-written songs.
Marc Almond
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
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.

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.

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 like situations that force me to rethink things.
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
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
Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.
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
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 made a creativity out of that messiness.
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
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'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.
