To go on the road and see people sing my own lyrics back to me is just fantastic.
From Dave Gahan
I go to see some big shows of other bands, and I feel like I'm so bombarded and over-stimulated that I lose interest in the music. There has to be light and shade, and less stimulating moments. There has to be an arc to the show.
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.
I have to feel the audience. I enjoy that feeling of community. There's something sort of spiritual about it in a lot of ways. It's like we're all doing this together.
Certain songs like 'Enjoy the Silence' - to me, it always fits anywhere. There's something about that song that's really timeless, and I never get bored or feel like I have to muster something up.
You're only going to get surface with me. It takes me ages to warm up to people.
I have a very addictive personality, so I'm even careful about wanting more of anything than I need - even chocolate.
The possibilities are endless now, with performing, getting your music online, getting your own website and getting your music out there. I think that's very cool and amazing.
I do use texting as a great way to communicate quickly, but I don't Twitter or anything.
L.A. is always great. There's something special about L.A. And New York, for me, because it's home. There's nothing quite like walking onstage at Madison Square Garden.
