“When Spandau were at the peak, there was a lot of pressure on us as brothers that kind of saved the band for years. If there was ever a moment where the band might explode, it was left to me and Gary to go off and have the biggest argument - I remember having proper fist fights with him in the 80s - and that got rid of the tension.”

“When somebody takes themselves seriously that's fodder for comedy. I think every musician goes through certain periods of their career where they're all guilty of that - Spandau Ballet included.”

“One of the reasons we invented continuous prose was to lay out an argument, piling points on top of each other, weighing one view against another, even to invite the reader to look back at something earlier or later in a book.”

“I grew up in a family that despised displays of strong emotion, rage in particular. We stewed. We sulked. When arguments did occur, they were full-scale conniptions, and we regarded them as family failings.”

“I don't mind people writing about me. Personal attacks are different, but political arguments? I'm putting myself out there on a daily basis. I'm giving my opinion. So it only makes sense that others might differ and will criticize me.”
