I do promotion when it is necessary, but I always want to get back to the music.

The success of Watermark surprised me. I never thought of music as something commercial; it was something very personal to me.

I do a so-called trip into myself: I sit down at the piano and the melody might start to evolve from my playing or then I might start to sing it.

The spring, summer, is quite a hectic time for people in their lives, but then it comes to autumn, and to winter, and you can't but help think back to the year that was, and then hopefully looking forward to the year that is approaching.

I could have been more famous if I did all the glitzy things, but celebrity always seemed so unnecessary.

I am privileged to do a job I love to do. I would never change any moment from my life.

It's very homely, this castle. It doesn't have huge ballrooms. I didn't want a cold, cavernous place.
