If you have a concrete class that implements an interface then you must define all methods from that interface.

All methods declared in interfaces should be defined by Classes implementing interfaces.

If you want the Class not to implement all/some of the methods in interface, then the Class should be declared abstract. No other way.

Any class extending the abstract class will define those methods.
