The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Martin Kemp

  • We grew up in Islington, north London, in a Georgian terraced house that nowadays would be split into flats. Our grandparents lived upstairs, there was another tenant living up there and downstairs was the office where people in the area paid their rent.
  • Saint Tropez and Ibiza were the true essences of early New Romantics.
  • My mum and dad were together 55 years, I don’t think they spent a day apart.
  • If you’ve seen ‘Hustle’ before, ‘Hustle’ is kind of like one degree over reality. It’s always heightened, which makes it fun to watch in the way that they play it, in the way that stories are, even the way that it’s shot – the camerawork is heightened and it’s meant to do that.
  • As a teenager, I used to carry the equipment for Gary’s band, so I was kind of like his roadie. Every night after a gig, I’d go to bed dreaming of being in the band myself.
  • When you’re acting, playing the bad guy, you get a chance to open up this box inside and look at all the bad things that you’ve got in there.
  • The violence in ‘EastEnders’ is a lot more dangerous than the violence in ‘Family.’ It becomes dangerous when it is softened, like in ‘The A-Team.’
  • I’d grown up with no money and, when money had come into my life, I hadn’t cared about chasing it. Earning it was very exciting, but only because it gave me the chance to be generous with my mates and show them how much I loved them.
  • I remember playing six nights at Wembley in the 80s. I partied for three of those straight, with our friends Duran Duran. Back then, the fun was about the after-show – who was coming to the party and whether they had a guest list pass.
  • I was always proud of the fact that Spandau and Duran Duran were like Oasis and Blur or the Beatles and The Rolling Stones – where you pick two bands of a generation and you’re either on one side or the other.
