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.

More quotes by 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 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
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 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 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 sit down and create atmospheres, start playing guitar or piano and just sing whatever comes out of my mouth.
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
More than accepted, it's encouraged for rock stars to be out of control.
Martin Gore
I try to get a degree of realism in my music.
Martin Gore
I don't like to think 10 years down the road.
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 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 didn't write songs for a very long time.
Martin Gore
I like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground.
Martin Gore
I lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.
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
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 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
