Maybe I over-do the 'not-80s' thing. It should be a part of my life that I've got some sort of pride in, but I've got this huge chip on my shoulder about '80s nostalgia - and it annoys fans sometimes. Gary Numan 80sannoychip 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

The industrial thing came about mainly through giving up trying to write pop songs in the early '90s.
