I love comedy. I like to think that there's a sense of humor in some of my music - obviously not all of it.

I've read a couple of things that I was sort of close to having a nervous breakdown. But I don't think I was. I was very, very tired. It was a really difficult time.

We let the weirdness in.

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.

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.

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.

School was a very cruel environment and I was a loner. But I learnt to get hurt and I learnt to cope with it.

The only person with you all your life is you. Your parents die. Things inside you die — illusions, gushes of personality. Only you can sort yourself out. Yourself may not be all you need, but it’s all you’ve got.
Kate Bush
Image
I think that music is something that surpasses trends, fashions music is something much deeper.

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.

My father was always playing the piano. He played all kinds of music - Gershwin, all kinds of stuff. He was really a hugely encouraging force to me when I was little.

For Running Up That Hill we had worked with a drum machine [in 1985] the basic rhythms of Running Up That Hill happened because the whole track was built on a drum machine.

Being nervous actually kept me very tense.

What am I singing? A song of seeds The food of love. Eat the music.

Using telephones, they would be so intrusive and would really disrupt the show.

[For Before the Dawn] it was in the hands of a fantastic drummer and percussionist and who drove it into another moment in time. It's such a poignant song and it was transformed into entirely different beast.
Kate Bush

The more I think about sex, the better it gets. Here we have a purpose in life, good for the blood circulation, good for releasing the tension.

Maybe if my songs feel personal, that's very nice. I like that. I take that as a great compliment.
