"We're a brand now, so fans always have advice for us. Actually, it's exactly how I am about David Bowie. I met him backstage, and, being a fan type, I said, 'Why haven't you released 'Hello Spaceboy' as a single? It's the only single on the album.' Which is exactly what people do to us. They get annoyed, because these two stupid old gits - us - are ruining the Pet Shop Boys project."

Neil Tennant, The Observer, October 19, 2003
