Gary Kemp Quotes

Don’t give pain to others Picture Quote #1

Love is family, support, priority, and understanding Picture Quote #1

I love England. I don’t really like places when they’re too hot. It’s my Celtic blood Picture Quote #1

My brother Martin is two years younger than me. There has never been any competition between us - clearly he was the good-looking one; he was also very sporty, and I am not a football player Picture Quote #1

I have a terrible fear of travel. Just before we go, I start to panic and tell my wife I don’t want to go. It’s ridiculous. But actually it’s only when it’s somewhere I’ve not been to before Picture Quote #1

I think I tried to control situations within my first marriage and I wasn’t the easiest person to live with Picture Quote #1

We never had books at home, but my dad, seeing how keen I was to read, took me to Islington Library when I was about eight and we pulled out two - a Biggles and a science fiction novel. I never got the ace fighter pilot but fell in love with all things to do with the future and space. Isaac Asimov soon became my guiding star Picture Quote #1

Punk was sort of an angry stance against things that had happened just before, against the pop of glam rock, against progressive rock. Music had become very staid and it was about the playing and people obsessed. Eric Clapton was God and we needed an enema within the art form, and punk did do that Picture Quote #1

In the 80s the band was 24/7. You were only as good as what you were producing at any given moment. Now my family is more important. I also think having the shock of your mum and dad dying humbles you slightly Picture Quote #1

I keep my house tidy, because then I can think clearly. I feel the same about myself. Presenting yourself well is a working-class thing - my dad was a printer, but he wore a tie most days. The ungroomed look belongs more to the middle classes Picture Quote #1

Don’t see the point in reading ghost-written autobiographies, even though some of these published lives may fascinate me. The ‘ghost’ is always present, manipulating an interview into first-person singular text, and it feels like I’m reading a lie Picture Quote #1

Kevin Costner told me that ‘True’ was his and his wife’s song. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing because they split up soon after Picture Quote #1

Maybe I’ve got to admit that what I did here was enough. I can make some more films. Maybe I’ll direct a film. Maybe I’ll have my musical put on stage. But nothing, really, to be absolutely honest, competes with making a very successful pop band for 10 years of my life Picture Quote #1

For 24 hours a day, for 10 years, all I thought about was being in a band. That’s all I did. I had no other social life. I don’t want my life to be like that now. I’ve spent the past 10 years having a real life as well. But Spandau Ballet is such a difficult shadow to outrun Picture Quote #1

Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Picture Quote #1

My instinct is to be very controlling Picture Quote #1

It’s always an honour doing anything for your country Picture Quote #1

I think sometimes my controlling instincts came out of a fear of other people Picture Quote #1

Your life is the same wherever you go Picture Quote #1

Pop music should be about young people Picture Quote #1

I’ve always thought that actors wanted to be pop musicians and pop musicians wanted to be actors Picture Quote #1

Songwriting helps me sort out my personal problems. With acting, you’re just a tool for someone’s ideas Picture Quote #1

I think I tried to control situations within my first marriage and I wasn’t the easiest person to live with Picture Quote #1
