In that period, we had the Cold War mentality imbued through us - the Post-war [environment] and the Cold War. I think we were reflecting some of that. This was before the Wall collapsed, etc.

I think underneath it all [in the Big Funk] was a little bit of a Europeanness in it.

We were coming from a completely different place, which was saying "sound" is what you want to define it as, and you can shape it into music in whichever way you want.

We've always been observant of things, and I think Crackdown was very much like that and the film interpretation was that journalistic view of that situation.

Music doesn't have to be so rule-based - and so strict in its structures, construction and perception.

We also worked with Marshall Jefferson for Groovy, Laidback and Nasty. So we were lucky to work with some really great people.

Crackdown, the video, interpreted and reflected a sense of authority and austerity and a sense of slight, impending doom.

I think what we tried to do lyrically, vocally and musically was to capture a sound.

If you're going to change things, one of the things we had to change is to get away from that traditional model of rock music, and we were a part of that.

One of the tropes of our videos is that they were very rhythmic with clipped edits.

I definitely think there is a shift happening right now in terms of visibility, but there's still a choice you make as a public figure on what to do or how to present your sexuality.

Without tolerance, our world turns into hell.

You can remain friends, even without EU membership. The Prüm Convention, according to which data for combatting crime is exchanged, is a good example of international cooperation.

If you stop reading and learning, you will start repeating yourself; that's why, old people always repeat the same things!

I just want to say, 'Nice job,' but now let the professional take over. There can only be one me. Uno más me.

There is something in meanness which excites a species of resentment that never subsides, and something in cruelty which stirs up the heart to the highest agony of human hatred.
