That's what all art's about - a sense of moving away from boundaries that you can't in real life. Like a dancer is always trying to fly, really - to do something that's just not possible. But you try to do as much as you can within those physical boundaries.

I have a theory that there are still parts of our mental worlds that are still based around the age of between five and eight, and we just kind of pretend to be grown-up.

But I don't have a very good track record with royalty. My dress fell off in front of Prince Charles at the Prince's Trust, so I'm just living up to my reputation.

Kate Bush

Albums are like diaries. You go through phases, technically and emotionally, and they reflect the state that you're in at the time.

It's so fascinating to think about how each snowflake is completely individual - there are millions and millions of them, but each one is so unique.

Kate Bush

Sometimes when I'm going to the supermarket to get the coffee and cat litter, I get freaked out and see all these people staring, and you turn around and there's, like, 40 people all looking at you... and when you go around the corner, they're all following you! You start freaking out like a trapped animal.

I'm the shyest megalomaniac you're ever likely to meet.

Kate Bush

It's not important to me that people understand me.

Kate Bush

I think we all feel geeky at times, don't we? Isn't that all a part of the wonderful tapestry of life?

Kate Bush

I'm a very strong person, and I think that's why, actually, I find it really infuriating when I read, 'She had a nervous breakdown' or 'She's not very mentally stable, just a weak, frail little creature.'

Kate Bush

I think quotes are very dangerous things.

Kate Bush

I have to say I find it totally astounding that my albums do as well as they do. It's quite extraordinary, and it's actually very touching for me for the albums to be received with such warmth.

I love being with my friends, relaxing and talking.

Kate Bush

I was writing from the age of 10, and I was never really into going to discos and dances and stuff. I never told anyone at school that I did that because I feared it would alienate me even more.

Kate Bush

I do have the odd dream where I'm on stage and I've completely forgotten what I'm meant to be performing - so they are more nightmares than dreams.

Kate Bush

I don't aim for perfection. But I do want to try and come up with something interesting.

Kate Bush

My parents weren't keen on the giving up of school at the beginning to go into singing and dancing, but once they saw I was serious about it, they gave support. I was quite stubborn about my decision, and in the end, they realised it was for the best.

Kate Bush

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, do you think?

Kate Bush

School was a very cruel environment, and I was a loner. But I learnt to get hurt, and I learnt to cope with it.

Kate Bush

I don't really see myself as a celebrity, but more as a sort of mitre.
