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

I'm quite a private person and I like my work to do the talking.

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.

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.

They were worried we wouldn't get any radio play at all[ for "A Deal with God" ]. That's why it was changed [to "Running Up That Hill"].

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'm always hunting and prowling. I'm sure Brian [Bath] was exaggerating!
