I hear odd tracks from my albums every now and again on the radio, or maybe a friend plays me something.
Quote by -Kate Bush
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.
Quote by -Kate Bush
I had friends but I was spending a great deal of my time alone and for me that was vital because there's an awful lot you learn about yourself when you're alone.
Quote by -Kate Bush
I think that there's always room for humour in music. It's something that always takes itself so seriously, which I think is a bit of a shame.
Quote by -Kate Bush
My father was always playing the piano. He played all kinds of music - Gershwin, all kinds of stuff.
Quote by -Kate Bush
I have this desire in the back of my mind now of making music and film at the same time - putting the two together.
Quote by -Kate Bush
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.
Quote by -Kate Bush
In your teens, you get the physical puberty, and between 28 and 32, mental puberty. It does make you feel differently.
Quote by -Kate Bush
The freedom you feel when you're actually in control of your own music is fantastic.
Quote by -Kate Bush
I was writing from the age of 10, and I was never really into going to discos and dances and stuff. I never told anyone at school that I did that because I feared it would alienate me even more.
Quote by -Kate Bush
I don't aim for perfection. But I do want to try and come up with something interesting.
Quote by -Kate Bush
Quite understandably, people think that if there's a six-year gap or whatever, that it's taken me six years to make the album. It's not really like that at all.
Quote by -Kate Bush
The more I got into presenting things to the world, the further it was taking me away from what I was, which was someone who just used to sit quietly at a piano and sing and play. It became very important to me not to lose sight of that.
Quote by -Kate Bush
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.
Quote by -Kate Bush
My music can be a little obscure. It does worry me that the music might be too complicated for people to take in - that they have to work too hard at it.
Quote by -Kate Bush
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, do you think?
Quote by -Kate Bush
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.
Quote by -Kate Bush
My parents weren't keen on the giving up of school at the beginning to go into singing and dancing, but once they saw I was serious about it, they gave support. I was quite stubborn about my decision, and in the end, they realised it was for the best.
Quote by -Kate Bush
I didn't really feel that there were any filler tracks on 'The Red Shoes,' but if I were to do that album now, I wouldn't make it so long.
Quote by -Kate Bush
Touring is an incredibly isolated situation. I don't know how people tour for years on end. You find a lot of people who can't stop touring, and it's because they don't know how to come back into life. It's sort of unreal.
Quote by -Kate Bush
School was a very cruel environment, and I was a loner. But I learnt to get hurt, and I learnt to cope with it.
Quote by -Kate Bush
I do have the odd dream where I'm on stage and I've completely forgotten what I'm meant to be performing - so they are more nightmares than dreams.
Quote by -Kate Bush
I have to say I find it totally astounding that my albums do as well as they do. It's quite extraordinary, and it's actually very touching for me for the albums to be received with such warmth.
Quote by -Kate Bush
I think we all feel geeky at times, don't we? Isn't that all a part of the wonderful tapestry of life?
Quote by -Kate Bush
Sometimes when I'm going to the supermarket to get the coffee and cat litter, I get freaked out and see all these people staring, and you turn around and there's, like, 40 people all looking at you... and when you go around the corner, they're all following you! You start freaking out like a trapped animal.
Quote by -Kate Bush
I'm a very strong person, and I think that's why, actually, I find it really infuriating when I read, 'She had a nervous breakdown' or 'She's not very mentally stable, just a weak, frail little creature.'
Quote by -Kate Bush
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.
Quote by -Kate Bush
But I don't have a very good track record with royalty. My dress fell off in front of Prince Charles at the Prince's Trust, so I'm just living up to my reputation.
