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.

When people meet me I think they're surprised to find out I'm not always angst-ridden.

I always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.

I lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.

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.

Anything that I write comes from the soul.

I don't think I've ever tried to be anything other than a weirdo.

I'm not advocating violence but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.

It creates a conflict of interest - what songs would I use for me, and what would I use for the band.

I do a cover of a Velvet Underground song, and they were one of the most important bands, for me.

When I write love songs, people think they're really soppy - but I see love as a consolation for the boredom of life.

I do not wish to talk about myself because I hold very deeply the belief that what is important is the work, not the person.

The Answer is that I am afraid...Afraid of Connection with human beingsAfraid of Being AloneAfraid of be with my opinion

The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am then I can change.

Everyone has different layers to who they are.

What's really amazing about games is how they change our emotional response to challenges

Flight is intolerable contradiction.

I keep having these bros come up to me and say, "I used to watch you when I was a fetus," and I just want to kill them.

People don't get my sense of humour.
