More Than Accepted, It's Encouraged For Rock

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.

The Majority Of The Time I'm At Home With My Family, I Play Football Three Times A Week.

I Don't Write Poems And Put Them To Music. Just Let Things Flow.

I Sit Down And Create Atmospheres, Start Playing Guitar Or Piano And Just Sing Whatever Comes Out Of My Mouth.

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.
