There are definite reference points to older Depeche Mode records.

As part of Depeche Mode, I don't think it's right for me to be using my own songs for a solo project. I'm not a very prolific songwriter, so I keep those for Depeche Mode.

There are Depeche Mode parties around the world where people listen to our music all night long. The more remixes we can give them, the more interesting those nights have got to be.

We've got to keep on piling up the points. If we can break records that's even better but we must always keep our minds on the next game, the most important one.

I didn't do well at school, and I don't have lots of academic reference points.

Being-alone is a deficient mode of being-with; its possibility is a proof for the latter.
