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.

More quotes by Martin Gore
I'm not particularly prolific.
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 live in Santa Barbara. My wife's American, and she lived in England for 11 years and then told me she'd had enough.
Martin Gore
There's something insane about this business - about the cycle of making albums and going on tour to promote them.
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
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
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.

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 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
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 lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.
Martin Gore
The only things we have to worry about are really stupid things.
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
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 don't like to think 10 years down the road.
Martin Gore
I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.
Martin Gore
I didn't write songs for a very long time.
Martin Gore
I try to get a degree of realism in my music.
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.
