Vince Clarke

I'm actually doing a show. from my shed. on the internet. but it won't be music or anything, it's more to do with drinking and smoking. it's an art piece.

I went on iTunes and looked at versions of Christmas songs. Everyone has done them!

When we start to write for a new record, we never really know what we're doing. We don't come into the room with a set of ideas, but miraculously, a song comes out of it.

When I got sober, I thought giving up was saying goodbye to all the fun and all the sparkle, and it turned out to be just the opposite. That's when the sparkle started for me.

I've done gospel songs on every album.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.
