Originally, I didn't play any New Order when I deejayed. I suppose it comes from being a little embarrassed or humble or whatever. But people were coming to see me because of New Order, so in the end, I had to realize that if they were using my name on the poster, then maybe I should play some of the music.

From Peter Hook

Dance music tends to be a solitary affair.

From Peter Hook

You don't get many chances in the world, and you don't want to throw them away.

From Peter Hook

It was nice doing my own Joy Division book to be able to put forward the fact that Ian was actually quite a nice guy and very hardworking, ambitious and loyal. But the thing was, he was battling such a dreadful illness in an era when they really didn't know how to treat it.

From Peter Hook

Most people have just heard Joy Division on record. And Joy Division on record was completely different than it was live.

From Peter Hook

New Order never celebrated anything to do with Joy Division.

From Peter Hook

I've been very grateful and humbled by the fact that young people really dig Joy Division's music. It's a great testament to the chemistry and the songwriting prowess between the four original members.
