More quotes by Martin Gore
I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.
Martin Gore
England never felt claustrophobic for me at all. I think it would feel more difficult for me if I lived in mainland Europe. America I think is really easy because Los Angeles has film stars everywhere and musicians and Santa Barbara a lot of people have homes there even if they don't live there. You are kind of inconsequential, no one cares.
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 like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground.
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 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
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 didn't write songs for a very long time.
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
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
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 always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.
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.
Martin Gore
I tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally.
Martin Gore
There haven't been many credible electronic covers records.
Martin Gore
The only things we have to worry about are really stupid things.
Martin Gore
I don't know if it's cool to say this anymore, but I grew up listening to Gary Glitter. A majority of his songs were in that shuffle-blues beat, and I think that's probably why I tend to write like that.
Martin Gore
I wanted to keep the music very electronic, very filmic, and give it an almost sci-fi like quality. Music is a necessity for me. I go into the studio at least five days a week, every week, so once I had the idea and the template, the process was quick and fun.
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 think being in a band is probably the only job when you're actively encouraged to be out of it most of the time.
