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.

More quotes by Marc Almond
Albums, with me, have never had an easy birth. Especially when all the songs are self-written songs.
Marc Almond
It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.
Marc Almond
I think there's always been singers like that and i've done my fair share of cheese as well.
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'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
Knowing what I knew about Russia, as much as I loved the music and was fascinated by the songs and the whole idea of it, I knew it would be a very lengthy and frustrating process.
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
The weird thing was that Soft Cell was supposed to have come and gone before I started the album.
Marc Almond
There's no such thing as 'I can't do it'.
Marc Almond
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
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
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
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 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
You can't keep pursuing pop success, and chasing the past.
Marc Almond
People always go on about sleaze, but I think it's only a small part of what I write about.
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'm often prone to self-doubt about everything I do.
Marc Almond
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
I think in the past I think I probably was a little too diverse, probably went from one spectrum to the complete opposite and confusing people.
