More quotes by 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
More than accepted, it's encouraged for rock stars to be out of control.
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 haven't been many credible electronic covers records.
Martin Gore
I like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground.
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 think being in a band is probably the only job when you're actively encouraged to be out of it most of the time.
Martin Gore
I don't like to think 10 years down the road.
Martin Gore
The only things we have to worry about are really stupid things.
Martin Gore
I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.
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 sit down and create atmospheres, start playing guitar or piano and just sing whatever comes out of my mouth.
Martin Gore
I didn't write songs for a very long time.
Martin Gore
I'm not particularly prolific.
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
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 lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.
Martin Gore
There's something insane about this business - about the cycle of making albums and going on tour to promote them.
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
