“I got involved in music because I love everything about it, but now I'...” — Gary Numan Quote

I got involved in music because I love everything about it, but now I'm in it you see the other side and it isn't much fun. Not as glamorous and enjoyable as you imagine.

I was always a bit different. I had a very happy childhood, but I could never hang on to mates.

I became famous so quickly and so young - it was daunting. I was immature and I used to say some really stupid things in interviews. I never smiled on stage so I looked really serious, but it was because I hated my teeth and was incredibly nervous.

'Are 'Friends' Electric?' was two songs: the verse part and the talking part. Two different songs I couldn't finish. One day I was playing the main verse part of 'Are 'Friends' Electric?' and after a few minutes I got frustrated, as normal, then started to play the other song, and realized they went together.

I don't think screenwriting is therapeutic. It's actually really, really hard for me. It's not an enjoyable process.

I think I'm an enjoyable person to be around.

After doing this, going away, trying other things and working on other shows, this character, and working within Days of Our Lives, has been one of the most enjoyable experiences in my career.

I love touring, more than anything. Doing the stage show is a more enjoyable process than TV. There are no safeguards but the payoff is the wow factor.

It's been a successful and enjoyable career for most of the time. I've lived the dream and done everything in boxing but sometimes it feels like I don't get the credit I deserve.
