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 studied German at school. I lived in Berlin for two years and had a German girlfriend for five years, so I don't find speaking German particularly difficult. Singing was slightly more difficult. Martin Gore
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. Martin Gore
Music is really all about experimentation and lots of trial and error. It's just mind-numbingly boring until you hit on something that works well. 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
