music relax spend time watching wind
I listen to very little music, particularly contemporary. If I listen to it, it's going to be my own music, some arrangement or something. I spend so much time listening that the way I relax is by watching things, a comedy; that's my way to wind down.
albums astounding received totally
I have to say I find it totally astounding that my albums do as well as they do. It's quite extraordinary, and it's actually very touching for me for the albums to be received with such warmth.
love people stories watch
I don't read newspapers, and I've said I don't watch the news. I love books, but I don't read much. What I do is I get people to read to me, and I put the stories in my head.
rather work
I don't know about hiding away, but I really only like to present myself when I'm working on something - it's more my work I like to present to the world rather than myself.
age alienate anyone dances school
I was writing from the age of 10, and I was never really into going to discos and dances and stuff. I never told anyone at school that I did that because I feared it would alienate me even more.
afford case people scenario suppose
I suppose the worst case scenario is that people will get to the point where they can't actually afford to make what they want to make creatively. The industry is collapsing.
Whenever I see the news, it's always the same depressing things.
When your mother dies, you're not a little girl any more.
whether
There's always ideas buzzing around, but it's whether they actually end up materialising into a song.
Since I was 17, I had been just making records and promoting them.
main perform reasons wanting
One of the main reasons for wanting to perform live again was to have contact with that audience.
life partly work
My life and my work are very interlocked. That's partly why I like to keep my private life private.
It's so important to me to do the washing, do the Hoovering. I don't ever want to lose contact with that.
It's not my ambition to be a big star.
