I am just a quiet reclusive person who has managed to hang around for a while.
freedom music
The freedom you feel when you're actually in control of your own music is fantastic.
I definitely don't think of myself as being an influence.
albums time
Albums are like diaries. You go through phases, technically and emotionally, and they reflect the state that you're in at the time.
bothered busy generally lives mystery
We have such little mystery in our lives generally because of how we live now. I mean, of course, mystery is all around us, but the way we live our lives now, we're too busy to be bothered with it.
best music obviously sound start
Obviously I try to make the best music that I can, but after about two years of making an album, you start to worry: 'Is it going to come out all right? Is it all going to sound churned out?'
best creativity effect feeds force love personally positive work
I love being a mother. I think it's the best thing I've ever done, and I personally feel that it's had a very positive effect on my work. I think it's an encouraging force for creativity, it feeds creativity - it did for me, certainly.
albums astounding received totally
I have to say I find it totally astounding that my albums do as well as they do. It's quite extraordinary, and it's actually very touching for me for the albums to be received with such warmth.
love people stories watch
I don't read newspapers, and I've said I don't watch the news. I love books, but I don't read much. What I do is I get people to read to me, and I put the stories in my head.
age alienate anyone dances school
I was writing from the age of 10, and I was never really into going to discos and dances and stuff. I never told anyone at school that I did that because I feared it would alienate me even more.
When your mother dies, you're not a little girl any more.
Since I was 17, I had been just making records and promoting them.
life partly work
My life and my work are very interlocked. That's partly why I like to keep my private life private.
It's so important to me to do the washing, do the Hoovering. I don't ever want to lose contact with that.
