There's no point in lying saying I am doing really, really well because I'm not; I'm cult level. Gary Numan cultlevellie Change image and share on social
I'd been a Bowie fan before punk and used to get no end of trouble. I was always getting knocked about and having to run up the street, getting chased by people. It was horrible. Gary Numan bowiechaseend Change image and share on social
I collect fantasy swords, replicas from films, and have them displayed on the wall as you go up the stairs. Gary Numan collectdisplayfantasy Change image and share on social
I genuinely don't know how many albums I'm going to sell when the new album comes out, because I honestly don't know how many fans I've actually got at the moment. Gary Numan albumfangenuinely Change image and share on social
I have one brother, John, an airline pilot, who is seven years younger. He's adopted, though we're still blood related - he's my cousin. My parents couldn't have any more children after me, so when Dad's brother died, they adopted John, then just a baby. Gary Numan adoptairlinebaby share on social
I much prefer touring to anything else. Studio work is great, and can be hugely satisfying, but live work has the excitement and the lifestyle that I love. Gary Numan excitementgreathugely Change image and share on social
If you've been massive and it's all slid away, you tend to get written off. It's quite difficult to overcome that, which is why I've got this problem with nostalgia. Gary Numan difficulthavemassive Change image and share on social
Being a display pilot is probably the thing I've been most proud of in my life. Don't really fly anymore now though. I have three small children and as most of my friends were killed in different accidents, I realised that it was probably just a matter of time before I went that way.

The industrial thing came about mainly through giving up trying to write pop songs in the early '90s. I don't think I was ever very good at pop music and as soon as I stopped trying, and started to write more the things I loved, it became much heavier and more aggressive.

I am very old-fashioned about marriage. It is for life and I mean it. I always knew that when I met the right girl, the life I had before - being single, in a band, girls everywhere - would be over. Gary Numan bandfashiongirl Change image and share on social
