ज़ाहिर है कि किसी रिकॉर्ड की सफलता, बिक्री या अन्य चीज़ों के मामले में उसकी तुलना न करना मुश्किल होता है, लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि आपके पास—चाहे आपके पास कोई भी रिकॉर्ड क्यों न हो—असुरक्षा के पल हमेशा रहेंगे।
Obviously it's difficult not to compare one record success-wise, or sales-wise, or whatever, but I think you're always going to have moments - whatever record you've got - of insecurity.

मैं इस सोच का पक्का समर्थक हूँ कि यदि आपने अपनी पसंद का रिकॉर्ड बनाया है और उसमें कुछ भी ऐसा नहीं है जिसे आप बदलना चाहें, तो आपको अपने काम पर गर्व और खुशी होनी चाहिए।
I'm very much of the mindset that if you've made the record you wanted to make and there's nothing about it that you would change, then you should just be proud and happy with what you've done.

मुझे लगता है कि कुछ लोगों ने प्रसिद्धि को बेहद अनोखे तरीके से अपनाया है, जैसे मडोना, डेविड बॉवी और माइकल जैक्सन। वहीं कुछ अन्य लोग हैं जिन्होंने इसे बिल्कुल अलग तरीके से अपनाया है, जैसे प्रिंस—जो उतने ही प्रसिद्ध हैं और जिन्होंने उतनी ही सफलता हासिल की है—लेकिन फिर भी अविश्वसनीय रूप से रहस्यमयी बने हुए हैं, जो कि शायद बॉवी ने भी बनाए रखा। इससे निपटने के अलग-अलग तरीके हैं, और कुछ लोगों के लिए मुझे लगता है कि यह कला का रूप बन जाता है कि आप खुद को दुनिया के सामने कैसे पेश करते हैं, और अन्य लोगों के लिए यह सचमुच जीने का एक तरीका है, यही आपकी पहचान है, आप एक सेलिब्रिटी की तरह बर्ताव करते हैं।
I think there are some people who have taken on fame in extraordinary ways, like Madonna, David Bowie, and Michael Jackson. There are other people who have taken it on in a completely different way, like Prince - who is just as famous and has achieved just as much - but is still unbelievably mysterious, which I guess Bowie managed to hold as well. There are different ways of dealing with it, and for some people I think it becomes an art form of how you put yourself out there, and for other people it's literally a way of life, it's who you are, you act like a celebrity.

मुझे लगता है कि जब आप थोड़े बड़े होते हैं, तो आपमें भावनाओं का अतिरेक थोड़ा कम हो जाता है। ज़ाहिर है कि जब आप युवा या किशोरावस्था के शुरुआती दौर में होते हैं, तो आप बहुत ज़्यादा भावुक होते हैं, इसलिए मेरा वह स्वभाव थोड़ा शांत हो गया। मैं कहानियों और उन चीज़ों के बारे में ज़्यादा लिखना चाहता था जिन्हें मैंने देखा, परखा या महसूस किया था।
I think something that happens when you grow a bit older is you become slightly less overly emotional. Obviously when you're young or a more progressed teenager, you're overly emotional, so that side of me calmed down. I wanted to write more about stories, and other things that I'd observed and seen or done.

मुझे लगता है कि कुछ सालों के लिए कहीं दूर चले जाना और गायब हो जाना—या कुछ साल, जो भी हो—इसने निश्चित रूप से गीत लेखन के प्रति मेरे नजरिए को बदल दिया। इसने मुझे अधिक स्वतंत्र महसूस कराया, इसने मुझे ऐसा महसूस कराया कि मैं जिसके बारे में चाहूँ बस लिख सकता हूँ। मैं और अधिक अवलोकन पर आधारित (देखी-सुखी बातों पर) गाने लिखना चाहता था।
I think going away and disappearing for a couple of years - or a few years, or whatever - definitely changed the way I look at songwriting. It made me feel more free, it made me feel more like I could just write what I wanted to write about. I wanted to write more observational songs.

डेशपे मोड (Depeche Mode) का कोई मतलब नहीं है, और न ही यूरिथमिक्स (Eurythmics) का। बैंड के नामों का कोई खास मतलब नहीं होना चाहिए। मैं कुछ ऐसा चाहता था जो अंग्रेजी न हो, और "एली जैक्सन" से ज़्यादा अंग्रेजी भला क्या हो सकता था।
Depeche Mode doesn't mean anything, nor does Eurythmics. Band names aren't supposed to mean anything. I wanted something that wasn't English, and you couldn't get more English than "Elly Jackson."
