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.

I'm often prone to self-doubt about everything I do.
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
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
I made a creativity out of that messiness.
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 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.

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.

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.

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
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 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
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 thinks it really interesting how they throw the world music samples in there. I often wonder what it would be like to do something like that, but use my lyrics and my kind of style.
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.
Marc Almond
Image
Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.
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
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

Maybe I was a bit harsh on some people. But I was harshest on myself, really.
