Just Being Alive It Can Really Hurt

I Think I Was Just Lucky To Be Brought Up In A Very Musical Family. My Two Older Brothers Were, And Still Are, Very Musical And Very Creative, And Music Was A Big Part Of My Life From A Very Young Age, So It Is Quite Natural For Me To Become Involved In Music In The Way That I Did.

I Don't Really Listen To My Old Stuff, But On Occasion, I Would Either Hear A Track On The Radio Or A Friend Might Play Me One, And There Was Generally A Bit Of An Edgy Sound To It, Which Was Mainly Due To The Digital Equipment That We Were Using, Which Was State Of The Art At The Time - And I Think Everyone Felt Pressured To Be Working That Way.

I Do Think I Go Out Of My Way To Be A Very Normal Person And I Just Find It Frustrating That People Think That I'm Some Kind Of Weirdo Reclusive That Never Comes Out Into The World. Y'know, 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'.

I Love Words, I Think They're Fascinating And Incredibly Wonderful Things And Part Of The Joy Of My Work Is That I Not Only Get To Work With Music But Also With Words. Sometimes It's A Difficult Process But A Lot Of The Time It's Really Fun.

It's Not Important To Me That People Understand Me.
