We've been fortunate to be able to make music as Depeche Mode for 20 years

We were very lucky and have been fortunate to be able to record a lot of albums over this period of time, and to still be current and making music.

It's about rehashing old ideas and trying to make some money out of it, basically,

I'm really proud of the record and I think we've come together really well on it. Sometimes it was a bit of a long process and I wasn't quite sure where it was going -- but you know, towards the end it was starting to take shape and it was really exciting.

You have to work hard at reinventing yourself, so you have to choose new people who push you, ... Ben Hillier has brought a whole new dynamic to the group which is quite inspiring. It's better being in Depeche Mode now than it has been for 15 years.

I go to a very visual place when I'm singing. It's very cinematic and I get this feeling of space. I love when music does that.
