As long as ugly people are not on TV, you should only ever have interesting people on TV.

As soon as one project is finished I like to go straight on to something else.

For me it always comes down to what is a good song and I'm very old fashioned in the way that I like to make songs that have something classic about them whether you can play them with an orchestra or an electro synthesizer or an acoustic guitar.

I don't enjoy being a celebrity, I don't want any part of that or any part of that fame for fame... i'd actually rather die than be a celebrity slime!!!

I don't really have anything against Will Young or Gareth Gates.

I mean whatever I do it's important that I put my stamp on it and keep it in my world, whether I'm doing a dance track or something like the Russian album for example.

I think the older I get the more creative I get, I don't have the distractions that I had when I was younger.

I thinks it really interesting how they throw the world music samples in there. I often wonder what it would be like to do something like that, but use my lyrics and my kind of style.

It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.

Knowing what I knew about Russia, as much as I loved the music and was fascinated by the songs and the whole idea of it, I knew it would be a very lengthy and frustrating process.
Marc Almond

My next record I really just want it to be a collection of great songs, classic songs in a way.
Marc Almond

Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.

Russians have a new freedom, but as long as they don't express that freedom on a public platform.
Marc Almond

That's the way I work and one day I won't have the energy to do it, so I think it's always good to make the most of your life and living as much as possible.
Marc Almond

That's what I like to do, I like to make songs.
Marc Almond

The way the business things work in Russia is you have to meet people, you have to go through a certain amount of etiquette and business things are done just simply by a shake of the hand and whether they like you or not.
Marc Almond

The weird thing was that Soft Cell was supposed to have come and gone before I started the album.

These days i tend to use one project I do as a kind of offshoot to the next.
