We didn't play any Joy Division songs for 10 years after the start of New Order, which was a very honourable thing to do even if it meant shooting ourselves in the foot.

I don't pretend to be Joy Division or New Order. What I do is very straight forward: it's an interpretation and a celebration of the music, with different people. Everyone looks at it and knows exactly what I'm doing.

Peter Hook

New Order never celebrated anything to do with Joy Division.

I was very into New Order, Joy Division, all of that when I was younger. I had a lot of bootlegs that I saved up my pocket money to buy. I had all the obscure early EPs.

Dylan Moran

I love Nirvana, Joy Division, and New Order - older alternative, I guess.

Finn Wolfhard

To me, New Order split up when Bernard and I stopped writing together. We started Joy Division together; we started New Order together.

Peter Hook

The reason Joy Division and New Order are as influential and successful as they are is because of the unique playing of all the individuals.

Peter Hook

'Movement' sounded like Joy Division, but 'Power, Corruption & Lies' is the first New Order record.

I look back on Joy Division very fondly indeed. I know that, of course, the band came to a tragic end, but that does not change the fact that Joy Division was a great band to be a part of.

Peter Hook

There are lots of Joy Division songs that are so powerful when played live, some of which we did either never play or played very rarely.

Peter Hook

I started listening to the Cure around the time I discovered Joy Division and, like Joy Division, they have shaped my taste in all sorts of dark and dreary ways.

Danielle Trussoni

I read one too many books about Joy Division by people who weren't there, and they always seem to dwell on the dark, the intense, the miserable image of Joy Division.

Peter Hook

I am very proud of my family and my heritage and my history, and I'm also proud of my own achievements.

Hillary Clinton was actually inducted into the Irish American Hall of Fame yesterday. Hillary said she's very proud of her Irish heritage or her Italian heritage or her Asian heritage. Whatever it takes to seal the deal with you guys. I've got to get into that Oval Office.

Jimmy Fallon

If it wasn't for John Peel, there would be no Joy Division and no New Order. He was one of the few people to give bands that played alternative music a chance to get heard, and he continued to be a champion of cutting-edge music throughout his life.

Bernard Sumner

Most people have just heard Joy Division on record. And Joy Division on record was completely different than it was live.
