I wasn't ever a massive David Essex fan, but I liked a few of his tracks, and Stardust was one of them.
Martin Gore
The only things we have to worry about are really stupid things.
Martin Gore
If you go into the eastern bloc countries we are huge, and in Russia. Maybe there is something about the depressing nature of our music and lyrics that some people find an affinity with.
Martin Gore
I always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.
Martin Gore
When I write love songs, people think they're really soppy - but I see love as a consolation for the boredom of life.
Martin Gore
I try to get a degree of realism in my music.
Martin Gore
I don't think I ever worry too much about what our target audience is, what we should be releasing. I just write naturally and organically and try to write from the heart.
Martin Gore
I tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally.
Martin Gore
As part of Depeche Mode, I don't think it's right for me to be using my own songs for a solo project. I'm not a very prolific songwriter, so I keep those for Depeche Mode.
Martin Gore
I didn't write songs for a very long time.
Martin Gore
More than accepted, it's encouraged for rock stars to be out of control.
Martin Gore
I was born with the wrong sign In the wrong house With the wrong ascendancy I took the wrong road That led to The wrong tendencies I was in the wrong place At the wrong time For the wrong reason And the wrong rhyme On the wrong day Of the wrong week Used the wrong method With the wrong technique Wrong Wrong.
Martin Gore
Songwriting is a mysterious art. When I sit down to write a song, the end result should be mysterious and have this dark quality.
Martin Gore
I'm not particularly prolific.
Martin Gore
I started getting back into buying old analog gear while we were recording. Lots of old drum machines and synths. It wasn't a conscious thing. I didn't consider myself a collector, but boxes of vintage gear would turn up virtually every day.
Martin Gore
Once I'd chosen the songs, it seemed like it would just be a question then of recording them. But it's a case of trying to re-invent the songs taking them in different directions.
Martin Gore
I love being in the studio. If I'm at home, I will go to the studio pretty much every day anyway. It's just something that I like to do.
Martin Gore
I find it odd seeing a DJ playing to huge audiences. I know that people have been doing it for a while, but the fact that it's been embraced so much in America now and it's become like this new, big thing, I find it slightly odd.
Martin Gore
There's something insane about this business - about the cycle of making albums and going on tour to promote them.
Martin Gore
For years, I was stuck behind a keyboard rig. When I started playing guitar onstage, it was a bit of a release - not to be stuck in one spot the whole night. It's really enjoyable having the freedom to move around. You just have to remember to end up somewhere near a microphone.
