We wanted to enjoy what we were doing and we had business things we had to straighten out and personnel problems and it sort of took a little time to do it.

We're going to end up selling the bank at some point

I really am enjoying writing more than ever. I feel like I'm so much more focused than I was in the early times.
Debbie Harry Blondie -
It's a continuation. It feels like we were in the studio for 16 years. It was bottled up and this album was an outpouring.
Chris Stein Blondie -
It's amazing to me to see how bands evolve and how they take all their influences and come up with their own sound.
Debbie Harry Blondie -
I have a lot of regrets, but I'm not going to think of them as regrets.
Debbie Harry Blondie -
Something's that written out is okay, but it's not always a clear indication of what a person means.
Debbie Harry Blondie -
Our fans come from a wide age group. At our shows, the kids are down in the front and the bald guys are in the back. They're all interested and curious.

In music the mystical element is definitely there all the time, and one can see it. When it comes to rock and roll, when it comes to any kind of industry, it's not there. It's not there. So it's a battle between the two. Music, Industry.
Debbie Harry Blondie -
They wrote themselves out of the band history, as far as I'm concerned.
Chris Stein Blondie -
New York has always been a city of change and a city about change, and it is a back-leading development. Nobody's going to want to come to New York if it looks like another strip mall.

I guess people assume I have some sort of totally magical life, but I'm a working musician, fortunately. I've worked on my craft, and I'm very fortunate I've been able to survive in a very competitive industry and enjoy my success. It's not easy.
Debbie Harry Blondie -
We want to play. We weren't part of it.
Nigel Harrison Blondie -
It's competitive in Houston, ... It's not so competitive in these other places.

I always say the new album is the best one yet. I always feel that - I really do, because it's the latest and it's the newest and it's a little bit better.
Debbie Harry Blondie -
I really, really like writing songs.
Debbie Harry Blondie -
Christina Aguilera is an incredible musician and singer.
Debbie Harry Blondie -
Each act of imagination, each moment of creative life stands up to the entire material universe and affirms the reality of meaning against the corroding solvents of entropy, dark matter, or whatever else may be dragging the physical world into oblivion.
Gary Lachman Blondie -
I don't think that the punk sound really became the punk sound until much later. The punk era wasn't really just one musical sound. There are a lot of differences among Television, the Ramones, and the Talking Heads.
Debbie Harry Blondie -
If I were to do a foundation, it would be to promote solar energy. And I'm worried about drilling for oil. I think it is harming the earth, 'cos it drains the layer of oil under the surface, and that could be causing earthquakes. It's like we're giving the earth arthritis. I don't know if that sounds crazy.

There are all these different areas of specialization. That's it. You have to be a specialist nowadays. There's no other way. I was an artist for a long time, but I was always into being a general practitioner. I did a little of this and a little of that. And nothing got me anywhere. You have to specialize. If you don't specialize, it takes you until you're about fifty years old before anybody notices that you're doing anything at all.
Debbie Harry Blondie -
Working as a solo artist has given me a confidence that I didn't have with Blondie.
Debbie Harry Blondie -
I get myself a gig somewhere, whether it's in a club, whether it's in a bar, it doesn't matter, and I just work on New Year's Eve because I always feel it's very symbolic for me for the next year, for the new year.
Debbie Harry Blondie -
That undercurrent of the forbidden was always a part of rock.
