Gary Numan chats to I Like Music


GARY: Yeah I loved it; I was made an examiner and used to teach other people how to be display pilots. So I got quite good at it and I really did love it. But I think I had my time.

ILM: You were shy as a child, music brought him out of your shell; how is music affecting your own children?

GARY: It's difficult to say. The strange thing about music is it gives you the ability to have an alter ego, you can go on stage and just be someone else, it's a similar kind of vibe to acting. One of the reasons I got into the use image right from the beginning it felt like something to hide behind, especially with light shows and that sort of things. Having a persona. It gives you this artificial barrier. So although I was very shy, when I was doing little pub gigs before I made it I was having a nightmare, for a week before the gig I was so frightened and the day of the gig I was just impossible to be around terrified. I realized unless I can get over this, I'm never going to do it so I decided to write songs which had persona's in them, and when I got the first record deal, that was the way I went. I created characters and become that for a bit. It's like when you're young and you want to play Cowboys and Indians and you put on a cowboy hat and you feel like a cowboy, so it was just like a grown up version of that. You dress up like a pop star and put on a bit of make up and go on stage and behave in a way that's pretty different to the way you really are, and you do that for a few years and as you build up your own confidence and talent, you don't need to do it anymore. So it was a way of getting me through that phase. When you go on stage and you're strutting around and you seem arrogant, you can kind of get away with it. It gives you that push to get on and do it.
