More quotes by 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
If you were born by the sea, there's always a magnet that draws you back there.
Marc Almond
That's what I like to do, I like to make songs.
Marc Almond
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.
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
People always go on about sleaze, but I think it's only a small part of what I write about.
