All Of My Kids Are Into Music.

God Knows Why - No Pun Intended - But Every Time I Write A Song, I Feel A Need To Touch On Religion.

When You First Sit Down To Write The First Song, Until You've Maybe Got Three Or Four Under Your Belt, It's Always, To Me, Like A Mountain To Climb. You Look At That One Blank Piece Of Paper And You Think, `god, How Many Songs Do I Have To Write Here?' It Always Feels Like Pressure.

You Make One Solo Album, And Some People Swear You're About To Leave The Band Or There Are Creative Differences.

I Lead Two Totally Separate Lives. There Are Times When I Have To Slip Into Rock Star Mode.

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.
