I think it is different from The Dreaming. When I sit down and write songs for a new album, that's one of the things that's important to me - that it's at least somehow different and hopefully interesting. There was some re-evaluation, yes. Taking so long a break made me realise what was important - which was my work, much more than being famous. I did think it would be harder coming back.
Communication's a really important thing.
I think everything is going to be different by October or so, yes. Things are really starting to happen and change, already, things are very positive in the record company with this album. But if I can avoid it, I do not want to get caught up in a long drawn-out promotion thing that would keep me away from the creative side of things. Because the longer I work on promotion, then in a way th harder it is for me to get back to doing what I really like doing - recording . And then suddenly to go out into the world to do promotion is quite a culture-shock.
