Maybe I was a bit harsh on some people. But I was harshest on myself, really.
I made a creativity out of that messiness.
I'd always wanted to write a song about a leather jacket and how wearing it makes you feel. I love leather jackets, and I've got a big collection of them.
I'm the most indecisive person in the world. I'll do three versions of a song, then think, "Is the demo better?"
I'm often prone to self-doubt about everything I do.
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.
