One U.S. hit single and a hit T Shirt in 1985 does not a celebrity make.

I wanted to make the kind of records that I heard in the discos that I danced in at that time. Funky, electronic sounds, while the musicians in the band were more rock oriented. This I suppose created the sound we know as Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

I always saw myself as a multi media artist.

The great thing was my teammates really set some great screens to get me open. I just went out there and played basketball.

I always saw being in a band a full time job.

This hype word bothers me though It always sounds like an accusation, what does it mean, advertising, column inches in the press? Bands themselves are never really responsible for all of that. That is something that happens to you when you sell millions of records.

Let's face it I am not Joan Collins or Boy George.
