I am just a quiet reclusive person who has managed to hang around for a while.
family
I was aware of a lot of my friends being into things I wasn't into. Like sarcasm. It had never been a part of my family - they still don't use sarcasm.
freedom music
The freedom you feel when you're actually in control of your own music is fantastic.
encouraged work
Thanks to everyone who's encouraged and supported my work over the years.
people
People said I couldn't gig, and I proved them wrong.
ask family home life living love normal people spent three
People ask what I really did in the three years between 'The Dreaming' and 'Hounds of Love.' I spent it with my family, living a normal home life.
My friends sometimes used to ignore me completely, and that would really upset me badly.
best complete love
I really love Hitchcock; I think he was a complete genius, to me one of the best directors. Such a sense of how to put things together.
artists guess touch work
I guess what all artists want is for their work to touch someone or for it to be thought provoking.
tracks
I didn't really feel that there were any filler tracks on 'The Red Shoes,' but if I were to do that album now, I wouldn't make it so long.
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.
bit humour itself music room takes
I think that there's always room for humour in music. It's something that always takes itself so seriously, which I think is a bit of a shame.
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.
