I had friends but I was spending a great deal of my time alone and for me that was vital because there's an awful lot you learn about yourself when you're alone.

What I've tended to do is to use my own experiences to get into someone else's mind, like in Wuthering Heights.

My desire was never to be famous. It was to try and create something interesting musically if I could.

We have a female prime minister [Theresa May] here in the UK. I actually really like her and think she's wonderful. I think it's the best thing that's happened to us in a long time.

It's not easy putting creative projects together. In my case, it might take a long time and you try to do the best.

When I was singing "King of the Mountain," it was a pivotal point in the show. That's the song that took us from this concert setting of individual songs into the theatrical narrative piece.

We let the weirdness in.
