“I tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally.”
“Technology is a bit of a double-edged sword. Used right, it's a wonderful tool, but unfortunately, it makes it easier for a lot of mediocre people to get really crappy ideas out.”
“I knew at quite a young age that I had an issue with drinking.”
“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.”
“You make one solo album, and some people swear you're about to leave the band or there are creative differences.”
“God knows why - no pun intended - but every time I write a song, I feel a need to touch on religion.”
“All of my kids are into music. My older daughter plays guitar, piano, sings. My young son, he sings.”
“If you took music out of my life, I don't know what I'd do. It's the one thing that I have a real passion for.”
“I will be the focal point for however long I decide to play. Half of me likes that idea and half of me doesn't, but once the adrenaline kicks in, I'll probably really enjoy it.”
“When people meet me I think they're surprised to find out I'm not always angst-ridden.”
“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.”
“I didn't expect us to be around after 25 years.”
“Record covers helped me discover a lot of music that I wasn't aware of.”
“There haven't been many credible electronic covers records.”
“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.”
“It was so exciting to go to the record shop and buy a piece of vinyl and hold it, read the liner notes, look at the pictures. Even the smell of the vinyl.”
“There are definite reference points to older Depeche Mode records.”
“Kids today don't know that much about vinyl.”
“There are Depeche Mode parties around the world where people listen to our music all night long. The more remixes we can give them, the more interesting those nights have got to be.”
“The majority of the time I'm at home with my family, I play football three times a week.”
