Simon Le Bon Quotations

I feel sorry for the '90s, because it was never able to be anything much more than the hangover to the party that was the '80s.

It's pathetic to have regrets about fashion. Things to do with my life, yes, I have regrets there.

That was the whole point in forming a band. Girls. Absolutely gorgeous girls

After a foreign invasion, there has to be a sort of feeling of musical inadequacy in the country.

My kids love vinyl, I had to teach them how to put the needle on the records. Now they're worried about scratching the records, but it's incredible!

We were five heterosexual, good-looking men. We competed against each other for the sexiest girls... I won.

I think repeating yourself is a sign of old age, telling the same joke again and again. Especially if they're jokes that don't make people laugh

Music is not supposed to be nationalist. It is supposed to surpass language barriers. It is about generations communicating with each other.

There's no question that a vinyl record is a lot nicer than a CD. It's nicer to hold in your hands, you can do more with it.

Digital music boils down the actual musical experience.

I've got three kids, and those are mouths to feed.

It worried me when Britney snogged Madonna. It looked a bit fake. It screamed 'We're in this for the money'.

We want to be the band to dance to when the bomb drops.

You're starting to see new record companies and business models taking shape, but it takes time.

Sad news- Prince is gone. Music has lost a great presence. A world less funky. I don't believe in it.

You don't really want to be always thinking about the future, always thinking about where you're heading for. You've got to think about how you're getting there.

You've got to make sure that you make the best of the day that you're in.

You can set unachievable goals, and you can end up missing out on your life because, in some ways, ambition is kind of living in the future.

I think it's important when you make a record that you know you're working with the people who are going to get the best out of you.

Ambition is a funny thing. You can completely screw yourself with it if you're not careful.

God created the world and then created the devil, to blame for his mistakes.

People wonder why I go out with models with nothing between their heads

Complaining doesn't make a difference; it's useless and it's wasted energy.

These days I think people give up too easily. Everyone says it’s about compromise, which it is. Love, compromise, promises, presents help. But ultimately it’s about not giving up. People are led to believe that if it’s not perfect then just ditch it and change it, these days. That’s a mistake.

I'm not a snob. Ask anybody-well, anybody who matters.
