More quotes by Martin Gore
I didn't write songs for a very long time.
Martin Gore

Martin Gore
I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.
Martin Gore
I like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground.
Martin Gore
I'm not particularly prolific.
Martin Gore
I lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.
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
There's something insane about this business - about the cycle of making albums and going on tour to promote them.
Martin Gore
The only things we have to worry about are really stupid things.
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

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
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
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 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
I try to get a degree of realism in my music.
Martin Gore
There haven't been many credible electronic covers records.
Martin Gore
People are People still gets played to death on '80s stations. It was our first big break in America. It's not exactly my favorite song.
Martin Gore
I tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally.
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
