Andrew Eldritch quotes

The citizen is becoming a pawn in a game where nobody knows the rules, where everybody consequently doubts that there are rules at all, and where the vocabulary has been diminished to such an extent that nobody is even sure what the game is all about. (Andrew Eldritch)

Music is there to enrich your life and make you aware of things in a slightly different way.

Postmodernism surely requires an even greater grasp of symbolism, as it's increasingly an art of gesture alone.

Andrew Eldritch

I've never got on with the British press because they've always given me such a hard time. Once they build a band up they just want to do people down. They shouldn't concentrate on the colour of someone's shirt they should listen to the music.

Andrew Eldritch

I still like being in North of England and I keep a place there. But there are a lot of things about the Continent that are to be preferred. The social institutions work better, women have a better position in society and the food is another thing.

Andrew Eldritch

Most writers can write, most rock 'n rollers cannot.

Andrew Eldritch

I've been in Hamburg for about ten years and I just feel at home.

I don't trawl record shops anymore. I usually hear music in bars or at friends' houses.
