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 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
I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.
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 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 like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground.
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
There haven't been many credible electronic covers records.
Martin Gore
I try to get a degree of realism in my music.
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'm not particularly prolific.
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
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.
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 sit down and create atmospheres, start playing guitar or piano and just sing whatever comes out of my mouth.
Martin Gore
The only things we have to worry about are really stupid things.
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
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
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 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.
