aware female media people promoted prove wrote
People weren't even aware that I wrote my own songs. The media just promoted me as a female body. It's like I've had to prove that I'm an artist.
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.
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.
people weirdo
I suppose 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.
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.
I don't listen to my old stuff very often at all.
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.
