I Lead Two Totally Separate

Songwriting Is A Mysterious Art. When I Sit Down To Write A Song, The End Result Should Be Mysterious And Have This Dark Quality.

As Part Of Depeche Mode, I Don't Think It's Right For Me To Be Using My Own Songs For A Solo Project. I'm Not A Very Prolific Songwriter, So I Keep Those For Depeche Mode.

For Years, I Was Stuck Behind A Keyboard Rig. When I Started Playing Guitar Onstage, It Was A Bit Of A Release - Not To Be Stuck In One Spot The Whole Night. It's Really Enjoyable Having The Freedom To Move Around. You Just Have To Remember To End Up Somewhere Near A Microphone.

I Don't Know If It's Cool To Say This Anymore, But I Grew Up Listening To Gary Glitter. A Majority Of His Songs Were In That Shuffle-blues Beat, And I Think That's Probably Why I Tend To Write Like That.

I Love Being In The Studio. If I'm At Home, I Will Go To The Studio Pretty Much Every Day Anyway. It's Just Something That I Like To Do.
