If art is to nourish the roots of our culture society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.

The feeling of your baby taking nourishment from your body for the first time is amazing and it remains the most touching moment of my life.

I tour alone. There's no sound check no back up. I stay with the hosts I am in a family home and it's really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day it's a new relationship being built. It's odd and wonderful.

This is nourishing redemptive we become less alone inside.
