encouraged work
Thanks to everyone who's encouraged and supported my work over the years.
artists guess touch work
I guess what all artists want is for their work to touch someone or for it to be thought provoking.
hard might music people work
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.
best creativity effect feeds force love personally positive work
I love being a mother. I think it's the best thing I've ever done, and I personally feel that it's had a very positive effect on my work. I think it's an encouraging force for creativity, it feeds creativity - it did for me, certainly.
rather work
I don't know about hiding away, but I really only like to present myself when I'm working on something - it's more my work I like to present to the world rather than myself.
life partly work
My life and my work are very interlocked. That's partly why I like to keep my private life private.
work
I work in a very contained environment, usually.
fun hope keeps lovely pleased work worth
I'm so pleased with everyone's work on this record. There are some lovely performances and I hope you will all feel it's been worth the wait. Bertie keeps me very busy, he is so much fun
british-musician choosing songs wrote
I think probably the only thing that is around in these songs is that I was really lonely when I wrote a lot of them. But it was really by my own choosing because I was devoting myself to songwriting and dancing and I wasn't really going out and seeing people.
full imaginary imagination incredibly invented life sorts stuff toys
I had an incredibly full life with my imagination: I used to have all sorts of trolls and things; I had a wonderful world around my toys and invented people. I don't mean I had imaginary friends; I just had this big imagination thing going on. I didn't need any imaginary friends, because I had so much other stuff going on.
art boundaries dancer life physical trying within
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.
frail mentally
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.'
became crazy dancer good happened keeping kept music spirits stuff training
When I started music, I think it was responsible for keeping me sane, because training as a dancer really kept me in good spirits amid all the crazy stuff that happened when I first became popular.
strongly
There is a figure that is adored, but I'd question very strongly that it's me.
