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.
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?'
hard might music people work
My music can be a little obscure. It does worry me that the music might be too complicated for people to take in - that they have to work too hard at it.
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.
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.
