I'm always uneasy with messages. I think if there is a message, it's about taking control of your life. Not becoming a victim. Be true to yourself. In essence it's about love in the drug culture.

Neil Tennant 22 quotes

We hope we are moving toward ...

We hope we are moving toward a world where sexual orientation is not an issue, because we hate the idea of a gay ghetto. I think that it's a real shame that people become restricted by their sexuality or define their whole lives by their sexuality.

I didn't want to wear a check...

I didn't want to wear a checked shirt and grow a mustache - that's what you had to do, and everyone did.

You should always celebrate your successes because someone else will celebrate your failures.

Neil Tennant 22 quotes

It's fundamental that what we...

It's fundamental that what we do only exists in our own universe. When you like Pet Shop Boys, you are in our world.

There's the paradox of making...

There's the paradox of making pop music when you're in your 50s. People weren't meant to be doing that originally and yet they are. Mick Jagger [used to say] we're not going to be doing Satisfaction when I'm in a wheelchair.

I've got the brains, you've got the looks, let's make lots of money

Because some people have sex ...

Because some people have sex with people of the same sex, an entire culture has been created, broadly speaking, out of oppression. Which in a rational world would not be an issue.

Neil Tennant 22 quotes

When I was I younger I didn't...

When I was I younger I didn't want to be gay. Not because I was scared of the sexual thing; I didn't want to be a clone. Now this was in the late '70s.

Neil Tennant 22 quotes

A lot of what used to be know...

A lot of what used to be known as gay culture - broadly speaking, homoeroticism and being camp - has been brought into mainstream culture. I think we should be moving to an era where it's just sex.

She's been a smack addict, she's had big success in Europe in the '70s, and she's lost everything. She's been rediscovered in the '80s, and as we meet her she's just about to sign a new recording contract.

Neil Tennant 22 quotes

We shouldn't feel restricted ...

We shouldn't feel restricted by our sexuality, and our sexuality doesn't have to be a cultural choice. That's an amazing variety of music within those five main performers.

Neil Tennant 22 quotes

There's also a subplot about ...

There's also a subplot about a guy who manages pop groups. Dave is a very ambitious boy, and he gets offered an audition but only wants to do it on his terms and conditions. He wants to maintain his integrity.

The big gay clubs like Heaven started having mixed nights in the late '80s.

Neil Tennant 22 quotes

For a while we were chasing a book by Graham Greene to do Brighton Rock as a musical. We didn't get the rights, so we decided to create something from scratch, with Jonathan. By that time we were big fans of his work.

Neil Tennant 22 quotes

We decided we didn't want to ...

We decided we didn't want to do a musical for TV because the idea of writing a musical that would be seen on television once seems insane.

Neil Tennant 22 quotes

The first song is called 'London.' It's about two Russian soldiers who desert the Russian army and escape to London, where they indulge in a life of crime.

Neil Tennant 22 quotes

We thought it would be great to see if you could put pop music back into musical theater.

Neil Tennant 22 quotes

He comes to London and gets a job in a nightclub, a gay club, where he's known as Straight Dave by the bar staff - and no one believes he's as straight as he claims to be. He meets the daughter of the club manager, and he has an affair with her.

Neil Tennant 22 quotes

To a certain extent, this tour is a celebration of individuality and that you can invent and reinvent yourself. You should have the power to be able to do that. Sexuality is a part of that. It should release you. It doesn't have to be an issue. It shouldn't box you in.
