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 try to get a degree of realism in my music.
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 always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.
Martin Gore
I tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally.
Martin Gore
I'm not particularly prolific.
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 didn't write songs for a very long time.
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
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 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
The only things we have to worry about are really stupid things.
Martin Gore
There haven't been many credible electronic covers records.
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 lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.
Martin Gore
I sit down and create atmospheres, start playing guitar or piano and just sing whatever comes out of my mouth.
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
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
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.
