makeup wearing-makeup felt
I felt very grown up when I was wearing makeup, thank you very much.
steps culture looks
I love pop culture. I love to be inside of it, and step outside and look back in.
home going-out sometimes
Having a studio at home is like having a gym at home - sometimes you're just better off going out.
trust letting-go ideas
I got this idea about being afraid to let go of something and being afraid of sinking into a state of almost anesthesia, where you have to trust other people. Just the paranoia of it all. And it seemed to suit the frenetic track. So I just wrote it out and, you know, said it.
rocks glam-rock style
Style has always been very important to us. We grew up in the '70s. Music was glam rock, punk rock and a very stylish movement.
real differences problem
I'm sure I'm a schizophrenic. The problem is I can't tell the difference between which one's which, which one is the real me.
song writing people
If you look at the content of songs people write, it's usually about the things they know best.
mtv force
MTV didn't exist in 1980, but by 1982, it had gotten to be a force to be reckoned with.
technology thinking long
I'm fascinated with genetic science, and I have been for a very long time. I always look at science and technology because I think that the developments in my lifetime have been so remarkable - and we're only at the tip of the iceberg with projects like decoding the human genome.
believe gone albums
Obviously with every new album we make, we always have to believe in it and feel we've gone in the right direction.
artist tools internet
The Internet is the greatest tool for any artist to have interaction with any audience.
country world stylish
The most stylish country in the world is Italy.
girl song real
I think pop culture is the greatest subject matter out there - 'Other People's Lives,' as we wrote about on the last Duran Duran album. Most ideas for great songs come from real situations, something your friend said to you the night before, the girl that just left, or something traumatic in your life.
jeans people pairs
I always say to people, the Eighties were so inventive because people wanted to stand out. By the time we got to the Nineties, everyone wanted to fit in. It was all about having the same pair of trainers and the same pair of jeans. That's fatal. Whereas the Eighties you would never be seen in the same pair of jeans that somebody else was wearing.
