|---|---|
| 1 | We owe a lot to Iggy. When we first walked into those Billy's and Blitz clubs, that was basically called Bowie night. And I think "Nightclubbing" was being played, that was one of the first tracks we heard in there. Everything from Bowie to Lou Reed to Iggy to Kraftwerk, that was the soundtrack that we were inspired by in 1979 when we formed Spandau Ballet. |
| 2 | What we did have then is no Internet, a youth culture that had to find itself on the streets and one that was rather brave in the way it presented itself as well because we were sort of dressing up on a shoestring. I think we liked the theatre of youth culture and pop culture that we'd fallen in love with like Bowie [David Bowie] and people like that. |
| 3 | I remember Paul Weller saying to me, "Why aren't you writing a song about the miners?" I said, "Why aren't you, Paul?" |
| 4 | Live Aid (1985), coming straight after the Miners' Strike and certainly the sense that the government weren't really listening to the people at that point, I think it was a sense of democracy that people got from Live Aid (1985). That they could do something above and beyond what the government wanted to do, just with a postal order. |
| 5 | I wanted to write a soul song. We'd come out of that electronic, Blitz, dance movement. I wanted to get back into writing songs that I loved, which was black American soul songs. I wanted to write an Al Green song. Marvin Gaye obviously was a hero and I wanted to mention him in the song. (On "True") |
| 6 | 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. |
| 7 | Songwriting helps me sort out my personal problems. With acting, you're just a tool for someone's ideas. |
| 8 | I like a band with sex and attitude. Coldplay and Travis do nothing for me. |
| 9 | Kevin Costner told me that "True" was his and his wife's song. I'm not sure if that's a good thing because they split up soon after. |
| 10 | The thought of going on tour with people like Toyah Wilcox is just appalling. I'm certainly not tempted. |
| 11 | I think that Will Young is this generation's Des O'Connor or Max Bygraves. Where is the sex, drama and outrage in music anymore? |
| 12 | I can't get away from 'True'. It's been played 3 million times on American radio. |
| 13 | Spandau Ballet is a brand name. Part of me never wants to do it again. Part of me is fascinated of what it would be like. Because we spent the most amazing time together. |
