Quote

After I've done the salesman bit, I like to be quiet and retreat, because that's whereI write from. I'm a sort of quiet little person.

Some of the best pop music ever has come out of the States.

I have intentions as a writer, but people - when they're listening to a track - will take from it what they interpret.

When I'm writing I've been playing something for a couple of hours and I'm almost in a trance. At two or three in the morning you can actually see bits inspiration floating about and grab them.

The whole positioning and atmosphere of the song [King of the Mountain] was to build up this thunderstorm that would take us all onstage off into a story where we were suddenly in the middle of the ocean.

It's not important to me that people understand me.

I'm quite a private person and I like my work to do the talking.

I'd become very involved in the production, so the albums were taking longer. So it was never a deliberate decision not to do live shows. A few times, I've thought about doing them again, but it's just kind of never happened. I've just sort of gone the path of becoming a recording artist I guess.

I split it up into working on the two narrative pieces that can tell a story. The scariest thing was whether I'd be any good performing live again. It was such a long time since I'd done any live work. It's so different for me than recording. Every night my audiences were what I would dream of. You could just feel their support.

I think each album does have a different energy, otherwise you'd be doing the same thing again and not experimenting anew... Albums are such autobiographical material, not in the material but as an expression of what you're like at the time.

Sometimes people mishear my lyrics and think a song's about something it isn't.
Kate Bush

It's very unfortunate that war has always been and probably always will be a part of human beings on this planet. It's a terrible thing.

We have a female prime minister [Theresa May] here in the UK. I actually really like her and think she's wonderful. I think it's the best thing that's happened to us in a long time.

I didn't dare let my mind wander off.

I spend a lot of time working and with my family, so I don't have much time around the edges to do much else. I don't really listen to a great deal of music. I love music, but since I spend a lot of time in the studio, we probably watch a movie rather than listen to albums. I get to hear stuff, but not on the grand scale.

My studio is a fantastic combination of old and new, and that's how I've always liked to work.

I was so nervous every night that I had to really focus and keep myself in that moment so that I would not forget the words. I was really present for every song.

It's not that I don't like American pop I'm a huge admirer of it, but I think my roots came from a very English and Irish base. Is it all sort of totally non-American sounding.

When I'm a man, I will be an astronaut, and find Peter Pan on the second star on the right.

I don't think it's a very nice idea [making biopic] at all. I don't think my life is that interesting.
