Do you know what I really need? — Kate Bush

"Ooh, James, are you selling your soul to a cold gun?"

"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 Im some kind of weirdo reclusive that never comes out into the world. Yknow, Im a very strong person and I think thats why actually I find it really infuriating when I read, She had a nervous breakdown or Shes not very mentally stable, just a weak, frail little creature."

"There were so many times I thought, "Ill have the album finished this year, definitely, well get it out this year." Then there were a couple of years where I thought, "Im never gonna do this." If I could make albums quicker, Id be on a roll wouldnt I? Everything just seems to take so much time. I dont know why. Time... evaporates."

"For the last 12 years, Ive felt really privileged to be living such a normal life. Its so a part of who I am. Its so important to me to do the washing, do the Hoovering. Friends of mine in the business dont know how dishwashers work. For me, thats frightening. I want to be in a position where I can function as a human being. Even more so now where youve got this sort of truly silly preoccupation with celebrities. Just because somebodys been in an ad on TV, so what? Who gives a toss?"

"Touch me, hold me. How my open arms ache! Try to fall for me."

"Ooh! Let me have it. Let me grab your soul away."
