Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.
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

That's what I like to do, I like to make songs.
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
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.
