I don't think you ever know in yourself whether you have gone mad.

When West End Girls came out on import, I was a student at Liverpool University. I'd go to a club in Liverpool and it would come on, and I'd be really embarrassed.

The clubs are good fun-having a laugh, really having a good time.

I'm beginning to think that you should only be allowed to serve two terms, before madness sets in.

You can get too bogged down in technology and you can sort of forget what it is you were trying to do. And with the Pet Shop Boys it's primarily about the songs, it's about song writing.

I always have a very strong sense of shaming oneself, and you can do that a lot in the public eye, so it's best avoided at all costs I think.

Electroclash is good because it's stayed underground.
