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
Image
I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.
Martin Gore
Image
There haven't been many credible electronic covers records.
Martin Gore
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.
Martin Gore
Image
I didn't write songs for a very long time.

I don't like to think 10 years down the road.

I try to get a degree of realism in my music.

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.

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
Image
I sit down and create atmospheres, start playing guitar or piano and just sing whatever comes out of my mouth.

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
Image
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.

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.

There's something insane about this business - about the cycle of making albums and going on tour to promote them.
Martin Gore
Image
I like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground.
Martin Gore
Image
Songwriting is a mysterious art. When I sit down to write a song, the end result should be mysterious and have this dark quality.

I always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.
