brother thinking two
I think I was just lucky to be brought up in a very musical family. My two older brothers were, and still are, very musical and very creative, and music was a big part of my life from a very young age, so it is quite natural for me to become involved in music in the way that I did.
song writing might
It's funny when you write a song - it's easy for me now - but there's almost a second stage where you take control of the song. You start writing it, and if you're not careful, it just finishes itself and it might not be what you wanted. It's very strange, it takes over itself. It has its own life.
would-be tape tools
I like to work with a combination of analog and Pro Tools. I love the sound of analog tape, but there's so many things you can do with Pro Tools that would be incredibly difficult and very time-consuming with analog.
computer dramatic obvious
It was obvious that computers were going to become more a part of our lives, and they will continue to unless something dramatic happens to change that.
creepy clown
Clowns are always creepy!
effort trying looks
Sometimes when I look back on myself on those earlier records, there was so much effort going in, so much trying. With this, I was trying to make it much more laid back.
artist faults albums
I could find faults with all my albums because that's just a part of being an artist - it's hard being a human being, isn't it?
pops states pop-music
Some of the best pop music ever has come out of the States.
global hold nature unique ways
As we become this one global culture, in some ways it's things like the weather and nature that still hold our culture as unique to where we are.
good normal possible preserving protective trying
I am just trying to be a good, protective mother. I want to give Bertie as normal a childhood as possible while preserving his privacy.
I don't really see myself as a celebrity, but more as a sort of mitre.
time
I have a little boy, and I wanted to spend a lot of time with him.
music
Writing, film, sculpture, music: it's all make-believe, really.
dreams meant nightmares odd performing stage
I do have the odd dream where I'm on stage and I've completely forgotten what I'm meant to be performing - so they are more nightmares than dreams.
