- Nov 07, 2020
For 24 hours a day, for 10 years, all I thought about was being in a band. That's all I did. I had no other social life. I don't want my life to be like that now. I've spent the past 10 years having a real life as well. But Spandau Ballet is such a difficult shadow to outrun.

We were on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, which was hardly rock 'n' roll, but it pleased me.

Pop music should be about young people.
- Good

- Nov 07, 2020
It's a shame because we experienced probably the greatest thing - in art, in pop - we'll ever do. And it would be good to sit around and talk about it.
- Musicians
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always thought that actors wanted to be pop musicians and pop musicians wanted to be actors.

I've been through Hell with some of the members of my old band, and Hell is highly stressful.

I'm an atheist. I don't 'believe' at all.

I think my younger self would be more amazed to know I was doing an interview for 'The Spectator.'
- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My father had inklings of my cultural aspirations. He would take me to the library, things like that. But he wasn't one of those dads who had read George Orwell and was a member of the Communist party. We had no books at home.
- People

- Nov 07, 2020
I certainly wasn't a fan of Thatcher's politics. People liked to label us as children of Thatcher. What nonsense. The real children of Thatcher came in the 1990s, and had no interest in politics. The Oasis, Britpop scene.
- Country

- Nov 07, 2020
It's always an honour doing anything for your country.
- Live

- Nov 07, 2020
I think I tried to control situations within my first marriage and I wasn't the easiest person to live with.
- Instinct
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My instinct is to be very controlling.
- People

- Nov 07, 2020
I think sometimes my controlling instincts came out of a fear of other people.

In the '80s the band was 24/7. You were only as good as what you were producing at any given moment. Now my family is more important. I also think having the shock of your mum and dad dying humbles you slightly.
- Hot
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love England. I don't really like places when they're too hot. It's my Celtic blood.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I keep my house tidy, because then I can think clearly. I feel the same about myself. Presenting yourself well is a working-class thing - my dad was a printer, but he wore a tie most days. The ungroomed look belongs more to the middle classes.
- Football
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My brother Martin is two years younger than me. There has never been any competition between us - clearly he was the good-looking one; he was also very sporty, and I am not a football player.
- Fascinate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Don't see the point in reading ghost-written autobiographies, even though some of these published lives may fascinate me. The 'ghost' is always present, manipulating an interview into first-person singular text, and it feels like I'm reading a lie.
- Future
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We never had books at home, but my dad, seeing how keen I was to read, took me to Islington Library when I was about eight and we pulled out two - a Biggles and a science fiction novel. I never got the ace fighter pilot but fell in love with all things to do with the future and space. Isaac Asimov soon became my guiding star.
- Art

Punk was sort of an angry stance against things that had happened just before, against the pop of glam rock, against progressive rock. Music had become very staid and it was about the playing and people obsessed. Eric Clapton was God and we needed an enema within the art form, and punk did do that.
