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.
function human position
I want to be in a position where I can function as a human being.
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.
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.
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.
people quite taken
Quite understandably, people think that if there's a six-year gap or whatever, that it's taken me six years to make the album. It's not really like that at all.
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.
