Songwriting helps me sort out my personal problems. With acting, you're just a tool for someone's ideas.
From Gary Kemp
Maybe I've got to admit that what I did here was enough. I can make some more films. Maybe I'll direct a film. Maybe I'll have my musical put on stage. But nothing, really, to be absolutely honest, competes with making a very successful pop band for 10 years of my life.
We were on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, which was hardly rock 'n' roll, but it pleased me.
Your life is the same wherever you go.
It's a shame because we experienced probably the greatest thing - in art, in pop - we'll ever do. And it would be good to sit around and talk about it.
I've always thought that actors wanted to be pop musicians and pop musicians wanted to be actors.
I've been through Hell with some of the members of my old band, and Hell is highly stressful.
I'm an atheist. I don't 'believe' at all.
I think my younger self would be more amazed to know I was doing an interview for 'The Spectator.'
My father had inklings of my cultural aspirations. He would take me to the library, things like that. But he wasn't one of those dads who had read George Orwell and was a member of the Communist party. We had no books at home.
