Simon Le Bon

“Digital music boils down the actual musical experience.”

“After a foreign invasion, there has to be a sort of feeling of musical inadequacy in the country.”

“It worried me when Britney snogged Madonna. It looked a bit fake. It screamed 'We're in this for the money.”

“We want to be the band to dance to when the bomb drops.”

“My kids love vinyl, I had to teach them how to put the needle on the records. Now they're worried about scratching the records, but it's incredible!”

“I feel sorry for the '90s, because it was never able to be anything much more than the hangover to the party that was the '80s.”

“You're starting to see new record companies and business models taking shape, but it takes time.”

“I succumbed to hedonism.”

“It's pathetic to have regrets about fashion. Things to do with my life, yes, I have regrets there.”

“That was the whole point in forming a band. Girls. Absolutely gorgeous girls.”

“I've got three kids, and those are mouths to feed.”

“Music is not supposed to be nationalist. It is supposed to surpass language barriers. It is about generations communicating with each other.”

“I think repeating yourself is a sign of old age, telling the same joke again and again. Especially if they're jokes that don't make people laugh.”

“We were five heterosexual, good-looking men. We competed against each other for the sexiest girls... I won.”

“There's no question that a vinyl record is a lot nicer than a CD. It's nicer to hold in your hands, you can do more with it.”
