We've had a problem finding a vocalist. We have not been lucky yet to find the one. I think the problem is that the three of us have such a pedigree of vocalist, that if we come out with someone that's not good we'll obviously be slated!
From Peter Hook
We don't to be some kind of rock supergroup for the sake of being a supergroup. You want to change things and say something fresh and new so you appeal to people as a new group.
The break-up of a relationship is always difficult, especially a 30-year one.
'Movement' sounded like Joy Division, but 'Power, Corruption & Lies' is the first New Order record.
To me, New Order split up when Bernard and I stopped writing together. We started Joy Division together; we started New Order together.
I don't pretend to be Joy Division or New Order. What I do is very straight forward: it's an interpretation and a celebration of the music, with different people. Everyone looks at it and knows exactly what I'm doing.
Old men are cantankerous: they like to get their own way.
I prefer it when I can intimidate the audience rather than the audience intimidate me. I've been lucky in my career to have both.
Once you made that decision to split New Order up, you were like, 'Woo-hoo! I better get out there and get a job.'
My mother used to always say to me, 'Do naught, get naught.' It's an adage that I hold by. If you don't do anything, you can't really expect anything.
