We need to talk about what we are going to do and see and decide. We'll have to wait and see.

The reason Joy Division and New Order are as influential and successful as they are is because of the unique playing of all the individuals.

Peter Hook 33 quotes

When you balance it against N...

When you balance it against New Order, New Order don't work or tour relentlessly. We definitely work in our own way and sometimes it's a bit too slow for me, so I like to plan ahead and fill my time up.

To be in one band that changed the world musically is pretty good, but to be in two bands that changed the world musically, that's amazing.

I've been very grateful and humbled by the fact that young people really dig Joy Division's music. It's a great testament to the chemistry and the songwriting prowess between the four original members.

I was reading an article about Kings of Leon's bass player, who said that he was directly influenced by Joy Division and by me. I was like, 'Woah!' It surprised me. It's a great compliment.

There are so many bootlegged Joy Division/Martin Hannett tapes, a lot of really bad bootlegs on the Internet.

Originally, I didn't play any New Order when I deejayed. I suppose it comes from being a little embarrassed or humble or whatever. But people were coming to see me because of New Order, so in the end, I had to realize that if they were using my name on the poster, then maybe I should play some of the music.

Over the years, Joy Division has become a huge part of music culture.

The interesting thing is that New Order finished on an okay note. It was only after we split that things got worse.

Peter Hook 33 quotes

There are so little outtakes ...

There are so little outtakes from the Joy Division era. We didn't have much money. You couldn't be very generous in recording, so we were very thrifty in how we recorded. Everything was very, very well looked after financially because we just couldn't afford it.

Peter Hook 33 quotes

I don't find imitating other ...

I don't find imitating other people's music easy at all. I remember being fifth in line for a Rolling Stones tour, early '90s, when Bill Wyman left, and I was hoping against hope that I wouldn't get the call to audition. I wouldn't be able to play a Stones song if you put a gun to my head.

My big frustration in New Order was that they played the same tracks all the time.

Peter Hook 33 quotes

It was nice doing my own Joy Division book to be able to put forward the fact that Ian was actually quite a nice guy and very hardworking, ambitious and loyal. But the thing was, he was battling such a dreadful illness in an era when they really didn't know how to treat it.

Madonna's like a black widow spider. She tends to use people, then they shrivel up and disappear.

I suppose in the end it's almost too easy to look back and say what you should have done, how you might have changed things. What's harder - what's much, much harder - is to accept what you actually did do.

I think the most important thing about what musicians do is the music. You can be as big an arsehole as you want but if you're not making good music, you won't get away with it.

When digital recording came in about '84, everything started to follow into digital. Now, you've got the best recording media in the world, but it's not very pleasing to the ear.

There's a very fine line between being artistic and being a dickhead - it's like love and hate.

When I started DJing years ago, I took great delight in annoying the audience. Playing Johnny Cash in the middle of a banging night.
