Best 11 quotes of Dave Gahan on MyQuotes

I do use texting as a great way to communicate quickly, but I dont Twitter or anything.

I have the urge to still be part of the world, the universe, of life. Through music I have the feeling that I come a little closer to that.

I often find myself on my knees praying to something or someone to not be in control.

I think Depeche Mode music somehow appeals to the oddball, to the person who is looking for something a little bit different.
