[“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.

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.

In some ways, when you re-envision a song like that [“Never Be Mine”], there’s a completely different energy to it each night.

Normally I don’t compromise at all but it felt important to give that song the chance to be heard.

The thing with 50 Words of Snow is that it was literally back-to-back from Director’s Cut [also released in 2011]. It was more or less that I got to make two albums in one hit. I was already in this space in my mind to be writing and making an album.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s not that I don’t like American pop; I’m a huge admirer of it, but I think my roots came from a very English and Irish base. Is it all sort of totally non-American sounding.

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.
