More quotes by Martin Gore
I tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally.
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 like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground.
Martin Gore
I don't like to think 10 years down the road.
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
The only things we have to worry about are really stupid things.
Martin Gore
I try to get a degree of realism in my music.
Martin Gore
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
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.
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 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 don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.
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 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 didn't write songs for a very long time.
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
I was born with the wrong sign In the wrong house With the wrong ascendancy I took the wrong road That led to The wrong tendencies I was in the wrong place At the wrong time For the wrong reason And the wrong rhyme On the wrong day Of the wrong week Used the wrong method With the wrong technique Wrong Wrong.
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
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
