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

Whoever invented God is an idiot. God is absolutely man's worst invention.

I feel like the Internet has really freed everything up to an extent, hasn't it? That radio maybe doesn't have quite the power that it had before.

Yes, it's a very difficult thing to do, to promote a record, do television shows, and to still want to remain private, it's really quite difficult to explain to people what you're trying to do. I mean I'd actually quite like to be a recluse, but you know, you've got to promote the record as well.

Using music to promote hate seems to be the bastardisation of music to me.

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