“My mother used to always say to me, 'Do naught, get naught.' It's an adage that I hold by. If you don't do anything, you can't really expect anything.”

English musician

Peter Hook is an English musician, known as the former bassist and co-founder of Joy Division and its successor, New Order. He became closely associated with a distinctive bass style, often treating the instrument as a lead voice rather than only a rhythm part. In particular, he played melodic lines on the higher strings and used a heavy chorus effect that helped define the sound of both bands.
