There's something insane about this business - about the cycle of making albums and going on tour to promote them.

More quotes by Martin Gore
I lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.
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 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 didn't write songs for a very long time.
Martin Gore
I try to get a degree of realism in my music.
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 tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally.
Martin Gore
I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.
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 sit down and create atmospheres, start playing guitar or piano and just sing whatever comes out of my mouth.
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
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
I don't like to think 10 years down the road.
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'm not particularly prolific.
Martin Gore
More than accepted, it's encouraged for rock stars to be out of control.
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
The only things we have to worry about are really stupid things.
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
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.
