Gary Numan chats to ilikemusic.com

Gary: They're kind of intertwined. But the career highlight I suppose was getting to number one. That's the thing that you aim for, so becoming to number one for the first time was a high. But the last few weeks for me have actually been more rewarding and exciting for me. Being number one in two charts, with an old song and new song has been just fantastic, after having such a difficult 15 years. So to live through that and come through the other end as an influential and credible artist is a massive achievement for me.

Ten years ago I was considered by the media as a laughing stock. People were like, 'Gary Numan, Wanker' but I was aware of that, and it was pretty demoralising to be thought of in that way when you've had a lot of success and so on. But I don't have bitterness about it, it's just the way the world turns. You just have to keep trying your hardest, and hopefully luck will come your way.
