Even just making albums – which was more within the structure that I’ve worked in for years – you have no idea how people will respond. You don’t know if it’ll be any good whatsoever. It can be terrifying.
[“A Deal with God”] was the first single off Hounds of Love. I’d put a lot of work into putting that album together and I wanted it to have every chance.

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.
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.
You’re never really happy. I’m certainly not. That’s a good thing. It means you’re always striving to do better. You hope the next piece will be better.
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.
