coming manager suppose
I'm not sure there are a lot of things I'd want a manager for. I suppose I feel that at least the decisions I make are coming from me, and I'm not put into a situation that I wouldn't want to be in.
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.
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.
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.
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.
became further presenting quietly sing sit taking
The more I got into presenting things to the world, the further it was taking me away from what I was, which was someone who just used to sit quietly at a piano and sing and play. It became very important to me not to lose sight of that.
asked permission wrote
Originally, when I wrote the song 'The Sensual World' I had used text from the end of 'Ulysses.' When I asked for permission to use the text, I was refused, which was disappointing.
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?'
