good normal possible preserving protective trying
I am just trying to be a good, protective mother. I want to give Bertie as normal a childhood as possible while preserving his privacy.
art boundaries dancer life physical trying within
That's what all art's about - a sense of moving away from boundaries that you can't in real life. Like a dancer is always trying to fly, really - to do something that's just not possible. But you try to do as much as you can within those physical boundaries.
effort trying looks
Sometimes when I look back on myself on those earlier records, there was so much effort going in, so much trying. With this, I was trying to make it much more laid back.
interesting desire trying
My desire was never to be famous. It was to try and create something interesting musically if I could.
snowflake
It's so fascinating to think about how each snowflake is completely individual - there are millions and millions of them, but each one is so unique.
I am just a quiet reclusive person who has managed to hang around for a while.
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.
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.
exist hand people track
I understand that people want to just listen to a track and put it on their iPod, and that's fine, there's nothing wrong with that, but why can't that exist hand in hand with an album? They're such different experiences.
bad music people
The music industry is in such poor shape; it's in a really bad way, and a lot of people in the industry are very depressed.
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.
