I love writing songs.
The anxiety I feel when I'm late is nothing like the anxiety I feel when I'm on time.
I am a reluctant celebrity, in some ways.
Once a song's out there, it's no longer mine. And that's the whole purpose of music: to belong to people.
People are so used to having their lives filmed, they're not even conscious of having cameras around. I still have that sort of suspicion when a camera comes out. I view it as a thing to fear.
I only make records when I feel I have something to say. I'm not interested in releasing music just for the sake of selling something. Sade is not a brand.
