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
Thanks to everyone who's encouraged and supported my work over the years.
I guess what all artists want is for their work to touch someone or for it to be thought provoking.
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.
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.
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.
My life and my work are very interlocked. That's partly why I like to keep my private life private.
I work in a very contained environment, usually.
