More quotes by Martin Gore

Martin Gore
I try to get a degree of realism in my music.
Martin Gore
If you repeat yourself, then I think you're in danger of losing that fan base, because if you're not interesting yourselves, you're not interesting your audience.
Martin Gore
I'm not particularly prolific.
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

Martin Gore
I like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground.
Martin Gore

Martin Gore
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
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 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 tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally.
Martin Gore
The only things we have to worry about are really stupid things.
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
I sit down and create atmospheres, start playing guitar or piano and just sing whatever comes out of my mouth.
Martin Gore
I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.
Martin Gore
