Electroclash is good because it’s stayed underground.

Stupidity combined with arrogance and a huge ego will get you a long way.

We never let go. Ever. Even with punctuation. It’s frightening. I can’t see anyone from any record company ever writing an email to Neil and not getting it back, with corrections.

I don’t think you ever know in yourself whether you have gone mad.

Even the Beatles lived their lives as a soap opera.

Using music to promote hate seems to be the bastardisation of music to me.

The clubs are good fun-having a laugh, really having a good time.

I’m beginning to think that you should only be allowed to serve two terms, before madness sets in.

When West End Girls came out on import, I was a student at Liverpool University. I’d go to a club in Liverpool and it would come on, and I’d be really embarrassed.

Chart positions aren’t the be all and end all.

Love Comes Quickly is our favourite record ever, and it did really badly.

House music is about love, and lots of hip hop is about hate and intolerance, so in that respect, it’s not good at all.

We’d be nowhere without our looks.

We’d have made more, but I kept forgetting to write songs down.

There’s nothing I like more than being on a dance floor with a thousand people feeling love for humanity.
