Richard Butler (on the video for the song): "To get the approach right we wanted to do it all in one take moving from one room to another while playing the song.
"The idea was to keep the intensity of the song, remember the words, don't fall over the wires all at the same time.
"I've just seen the rushes and it looks good. It starts in one room that is very stark and then shifts to this bright orange room as the song lifts off." (Coventry Evening Telegraph 1986)
Richard Butler: "We're still trying to decide which track [from Midnight To Midnight] will be the next single, there's one called 'Heartbreak Beat', one called 'Angels Don't Cry' and one called 'Shock' and we'll decide when they've been mixed." (Record Mirror 1986)
John Ashton (on Midnight To Midnight): "It's a pleasant surprise, a very tough sound with more of a guitar edge — I finally got my own way! The singles 'Heartbreak Beat' and 'Angels Don't Cry' are the easier side of the band, more toned down in energy. Some of the other stuff gets pretty wild, though!" (Evening Post 1987)
Richard Butler: "With [Midnight To Midnight], it was more like playing as a band, though afterwards I'd still want to change things round. I was constantly changing lyrics and melodies..it was driving Chris Kimsey mad! I'd nick a bit out of one song and stick it into another one and by the end, I had about three different ways of singing 'Angels Don't Cry' and at least two versions of 'Heartbreak Beat'. Finally Chris said 'OK, you've got to settle on just one version of each song, you're driving me crazy.'" (Rock Express 1987)
Tim Butler: "We were avoiding songs from the Midnight To Midnight album except of course the 'Heartbreak Beat' for quite some time. On this tour, we have dusted off 'Angels Don't Cry' and 'All Of The Law'. We never even played 'Angels Don't Cry' in the tour for the Midnight To Midnight album." (Equality365 2016)
Tim Butler (on being asked which song was his favorite to play during The Psychedelic Furs' 2016 Tour): "I think it is actually 'Angels Don't Cry' for the simple fact that we never played that song live even back in the eighties. The first time we have ever played it live is on this tour. It is totally fresh (Laughter)." (Equality365 2016)
Tim Butler: "We were listening to Midnight To Midnight recently and we haven't played those songs in recent years. 'All Of The Law' and 'Angels Don't Cry' have made their way back into our repertoire [for the 2016 tour]." (Orlando Weekly 2016)
