My desire was never to be famous. It was to try and create something interesting musically if I could.
Kate Bush

When I was singing King of the Mountain, it was a pivotal point in the show. That's the song that took us from this concert setting of individual songs into the theatrical narrative piece.
Kate Bush
Image
I could find faults with all my albums because that's just a part of being an artist - it's hard being a human being, isn't it?

Bang goes another kanga on the bonnet of the van

As the people grow colder, I turn to my computer and spend my evenings with it like a friend.

Don't ever think that you can't change the past.

Clothes are such a strong part of who a human being is.

I don't really listen to my old stuff, but on occasion, I would either hear a track on the radio or a friend might play me one, and there was generally a bit of an edgy sound to it, which was mainly due to the digital equipment that we were using, which was state of the art at the time - and I think everyone felt pressured to be working that way.

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

I saw Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, which I thought was a masterpiece. Not that long ago, I listened to Blackstar by David Bowie and thought that was a masterpiece. Those are two incredibly talented people who've left their mark with us.

I haven't actually seen a Lady Gaga tour, but I do think she's very good.
Kate Bush
Image
You're never really happy. I'm certainly not. That's a good thing. It means you're always striving to do better. You hope the next piece will be better.
Kate Bush

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.

[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

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.

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.
Kate Bush

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.

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 of inspiration floating about and grab them.
Kate Bush

It's a real joy to be moved by something, but it doesn't happen often to me.

The thing with 50 Words of Snow is that it was literally back-to-back from Director's Cut [also released in 2011]. It was more or less that I got to make two albums in one hit. I was already in this space in my mind to be writing and making an album.
