Quote

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.

I made a creativity out of that messiness.

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.

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
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.

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.

I'm often prone to self-doubt about everything I do.
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.

You can't keep pursuing pop success, and chasing the past.
Marc Almond
Image
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.

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 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 like situations that force me to rethink things.
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'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 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
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.

People always go on about sleaze, but I think it's only a small part of what I write about.
