Quotes from Martin Gore

I started getting back into buying old analog gear while we were recording. Lots of old drum machines and synths. It wasn't a conscious thing. I didn't consider myself a collector, but boxes of vintage gear would turn up virtually every day.

I tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally.

I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.

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