culture sense-of-humor comedy
Comedy is a very big part of the English culture, the sense of humor; it's a very dominant trait.
children school responsibility
For me, having a child is a really great responsibility because you've got something there that is depending on you for information and love until a certain age when it goes to school.
strong thinking people
I do think I go out of my way to be a very normal person and I just find it frustrating that people think that I'm some kind of weirdo reclusive that never comes out into the world. Y'know, I'm a very strong person and I think that's why actually I find it really infuriating when I read, 'She had a nervous breakdown' or 'She's not very mentally stable, just a weak, frail little creature'.
fun believe thinking
If you believe in what you do and you really want to be in music, just stick at it. It's always a learning process. Enjoy it because I think making music is a privilege, really. In an ideal world, it should also always be fun. As much as possible, make it fun.
awful vocal ifs
The original vocals had an awful lot of work put into them at the time, and I wasn't really sure that I could better them - I don't know if I have bettered them.
song lonely morning
When I'm writing I've been playing something for a couple of hours and I'm almost in a trance. At two or three in the morning you can actually see bits of inspiration floating about and grab them...I think probably the only thing that is around in these songs is that I was really lonely when I wrote a lot of them. But it was really by my own choosing because I was devoting myself to songwriting and dancing and I wasn't really going out and seeing people.
stuff albums watches
I spend a lot of time working and with my family, so I don't have much time around the edges to do much else. I don't really listen to a great deal of music. I love music, but since I spend a lot of time in the studio, we probably watch a movie rather than listen to albums. I get to hear stuff, but not on the grand scale.
song writing night
When I was first writing, I used to sit at the piano and play songs - I'd write one or two a night. It was my hobby. At some point, it then became a process that was mainly done within the context of the studio, and writing became part of the recording process.
jobs tools good-job
Mozart didn't have Pro Tools, but he did a pretty good job.
old-and-new fantastic combination
My studio is a fantastic combination of old and new, and that's how I've always liked to work.
fashion thinking trends
I think that music is something that surpasses trends, fashions; music is something much deeper...
special forget made
What made it special made it dangerous, so I bury it... and forget.
interesting desire trying
My desire was never to be famous. It was to try and create something interesting musically if I could.
time dreamer waking
All the time it's a changing And all the dreamers are waking.
