| 1 | Interview | Depeche Mode | ||
| 2 | 'The Singles 86>98' spans over a decade. Why do you feel this was the right time to release this collection? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 3 | The songs on the album span 12 years. How do you feel it holds together as an album? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 4 | With the last album 'Ultra' you didn't tour. Was that a good idea? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 5 | What direction is the band going in on 'Only When I Lose Myself'? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 6 | Were you aware in the early days of how much freedom Mute and Daniel Miller gave you? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 7 | 'Dreaming Of Me' was the first single. At the time was that the extent of your ambition? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 8 | When you look back at stuff like 'New Life' or 'Just Can't Get Enough' is it just good nostalgia, or is there any squirming at all? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 9 | Was Vince Clarke the creative spark behind 'Speak And Spell'? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 10 | When Vince left, after 'Speak And Spell', were you worried about what would happen next? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 11 | 'A Broken Frame' was your second album. Around these early hit singles did you feel that you had become pop stars? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 12 | Was 'Construction Time Again' pivotal in Depeche Mode's development? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 13 | How did discovering samplers affect your music? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 14 | Did you realise you were pioneering a new way of recording when using a sampler? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 15 | Do you see yourselves as part of an electronic musical lineage? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 16 | Were you aware you were pioneering new ways of recording? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 17 | 'People Are People' was your first success in the U.S. entering the charts at 13. How did you react to this American success? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 18 | Why do you think you became so successful in America? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 19 | It's hard to understand the chemistry within the band. How would you describe it? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 20 | Do you think Depeche Mode's music was still moving forwards around 'Some Great Reward'? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 21 | Was 'Music For The Masses' important in your development into a band who could suddenly fill stadiums? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 22 | Around this time you were probably the biggest alternative band in the world. You decided to make a documentary, a 'rockumentary' if you like, on your '101' tour. Why choose DA Pennebaker to film it? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 23 | How confident did you feel whilst making 'Violator'? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 24 | 'Violator' went on to sell six million copies. What was the feeling in the band whilst recording 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion'? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 25 | 'I Feel You' was quite a musical departure, bringing in more of a rock element to the music. Was that calculated or just a musical evolution? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 26 | So were you trying to record 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion' as more of a live based album? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 27 | What made you decide to embrace the guitar on 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion', after using synths for so long? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 28 | How has the Depeche Mode sound evolved? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 29 | The 'Devotional' world tour encompassed a full year and a half. How did this affect you? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 30 | Did it go as far as having four separate floors of the hotel, four separate cars, four separate minders? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 31 | Was it depressing that it had got this bad? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 32 | Had you lost the plot? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 33 | Did you think there would ever be another Depeche Mode album at that stage? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 34 | There was a four year gap between 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion' and 'Ultra'. Was that planned? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 35 | Why did you decide to release 'Barrel Of A Gun' as the first single from 'Ultra'? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 36 | What was the lyrical theme behind 'Ultra'? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 37 | Dave, how do you deal with putting your emotions into Martin's lyrics? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 38 | Are you happier with who you are now? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 39 | For this album you're touring again. Is it a greatest hits tour? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 40 | Your fans are incredibly loyal. Why do you think that is? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 41 | It's a long time since you last toured. You must be nervous? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 42 | Do you miss being on the road? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 43 | You're also releasing a compilation of your videos. The early ones were directed by Julian Temple. How do you feel about those now? | Depeche Mode | ||
| 44 | When did you start working with Anton Corbijn? | Depeche Mode | ||

| 46 | How about 'Personal Jesus'? | Depeche Mode | ||
