Kate Bush Quotations | Page 2

I love words, I think they're fascinating and incredibly wonderful things and part of the joy of my work is that I not only get to work with music but also with words. Sometimes it's a difficult process but a lot of the time it's really fun.

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

We let it in, we give it out, and in the end what's it all about? It must be love.

There is magic within, there is magic without. Follow me and you'll learn just what life's all about.

When you reach for a star, only angels are there. And it's not very far, just a step on a stair.

What made it special made it dangerous, so I bury it... and forget.

Bright, white coming alive jumping off of the aerial All the time it's a changing, like now...

I spend a lot of my time looking at blue, The colour of my room and my mood...

Just being alive It can really hurt These moments given Are a gift from time.

All the time it's a changing And all the dreamers are waking.

Every old sock meets an old shoe

I don’t know you, And you don’t know me. It is this that brings us together.

I think quotes are very dangerous things.

When I'm a man, I will be an astronaut, and find Peter Pan on the second star on the right.

Don't fall for a magic wand, we humans got it all, we perform the miracles.

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.

Moving stranger, Does it really matter, As long as you're not afraid to feel? Touch me, hold me. How my open arms ache! Try to fall for me.

You'll never know that you had all of me. You'll never know the poetry you've stirred in me.

All we're ever looking for is another open door.

Come up and be a kite, On a diamond flight!

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

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.

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.

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.

They say that the Devil is a charming man. And just like you I bet he can dance.

Artists shouldn't be made famous. They have this huge aura of almost god-like quality about them, just because their craft makes a lot of money. And at the same time it is a forced importance...It is man-made so the press can feed off it.

Chips of plutonium are twinkling in every lung,

Comedy is a very big part of the English culture, the sense of humor; it's a very dominant trait.

To say that you like music is a bit like saying youlike the whole world.

Music is like comedy in that you can enjoy a very - for want of abetter word - sophisticated classical piece as much as you enjoy something that's very simple pop.

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.

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

Some of the best pop music ever has come out of the States.

Whatever is going on in your life when you're writing has to somehow seep into your work.

I think comedy and music are both things that we need as human beings. I think that both art forms can touch people.

Numbers are really fascinating things, and they do play a big part in our lives. They are a language of their own.

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

I think what is great is that if anything that I do is interesting to somebody else, then I really don't think it matters at all what I had originally intended.

I just try to put myself in the sense of being a character, sometimes male. I suppose I just like the idea of trying to be different people coming from all kinds of different angles. Most of it was just from my imagination.

Mozart didn't have Pro Tools, but he did a pretty good job.

My studio is a fantastic combination of old and new, and that's how I've always liked to work.

When I was first writing, I used to sit at the piano and play songs - I'd write one or two a night. It was my hobby. At some point, it then became a process that was mainly done within the context of the studio, and writing became part of the recording process.

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.

The original vocals had an awful lot of work put into them at the time, and I wasn't really sure that I could better them - I don't know if I have bettered them.

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...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.

We let the weirdness in.

I do think I go out of my way to be a very normal person and I just find it frustrating that people think that I'm some kind of weirdo reclusive that never comes out into the world. Y'know, 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'.

I haven't actually seen a Lady Gaga tour, but I do think she's very good.

The more I think about sex, the better it gets!

I think that music is something that surpasses trends, fashions; music is something much deeper...

When you'd buy vinyl, you'd have this lovely-sized object with a lovely picture, and you'd read the lyrics and usually there was something artistic that went with it.

There are a lot of very strong connections with music and mathematics. They both can work in patterns and sequences and repetitions.

I think in some parts of our English history we've had huge amounts of almost too much great comedy. You kind of wonder how so much great work could come out of one country.

I feel like I have to do some promotion to let the people know that the records are out there; but I kind of like the idea that it's my work that does the talking rather than me.

Its so fascinating to think about how each snowflake is completely individual - there are millions and millions of them, but each one is so unique.

I just know that something good is going to happen. I don't know when - but just saying it could even make it happen.

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

We used to say "Ah Hell, we're young" But now we see that life is sad And so is love.

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

Quite often, lyrics get misunderstood - and I never mind that. I guess what all artists want is for their work to touch someone or for it to bethought provoking.

I love the whirling of the dervishes. I love the beauty of rare innocence. You don't need no crystal ball, Don't fall for a magic wand. We humans got it all, we perform the miracles.

Everyone of us has a heaven inside.

I just could not stand the idea of eating meat - I really do think that it has made me calmer.... People's general awareness is getting much better, even down to buying a pint of milk: the fact that the calves are actually killed so that the milk doesn't go to them but to us cannot really be right, and if you have seen a cow in a state of extreme distress because it cannot understand why its calf isn't by, it can make you think a lot.
