WARP: Are you planning to present "MG" live?

Martin Gore: No, I can't imagine going on tour with this. I imagine it would be a very lacklustre, uninspiring event, and I really would not want to put an audience through that.

WARP: Any message that you would like to share with your Latin American fans?

Martin Gore: We, I would like to apologise for not making it to South America for the last tour. It was originally part of our schedule. We were supposed to be coming down and play in some of the Lollapalooza events down in South America, and along the way we were supposed to play Mexico and a few other places. But when it became time to actually make the final decision as to whether we were coming or not, we had already been on tour for eight or nine months, and I think we just got to our limits. We felt that it wasn't good for our health to extend any longer. So I think that next time, if we decide to tour again, I think we should take that in consideration when we start planning the tour. Not just fit in two Europes, and then America, and then think about tagging South America along at the end, because by that stage I think we're all a bit frazzled.

WARP: After presenting this album, what are your plans? Do you want to collaborate with other musicians?

Martin Gore: Not at this moment, no. I think the next thing that I should be doing is getting back to writing songs for the band, so that's my goal.
