Albums, with me, have never had an easy birth. Especially when all the songs are self-written songs.

Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.

I don't care much about success or anything like that. I've only ever wanted life to be an adventure.

The weird thing was that Soft Cell was supposed to have come and gone before I started the album.

Russians have a new freedom, but as long as they don't express that freedom on a public platform.

You can't keep pursuing pop success, and chasing the past.

The albums I did around that time probably wouldn't have been the same without Ecstacy. The first three Soft Cell albums... were all really albums that were just done around Ecstacy and the whole E feeling.
