Music enriches people's lives in the same way paintings and literature do. Everybody deserves that.
My mother, she didn't believe in praise. She'd never say anything was great. I think that's quite Northern, to not make people feel too good. I didn't mind if she was proud of me or not, it didn't bother me. I was never trying to please her.
I sometimes think that being widowed is God's way of telling you to come off the Pill.
